Siri asked me to turn on Precise location services when I ask it to call somebody in my contacts.

Siri asked me to turn on Precise location services when I ask it to call somebody in my contacts. This seems like it’s in error. Siri believes I’m trying to call a business near me whereas I’m just trying to call a person in my contacts.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Siri calling a business instead of my contacts I have a few contacts that are the same and/or similar to business names. Recently Siri has been calling businesses that are not in my contacts instead of my contacts. For example, I ask it to call "Cherri" and it gives me two businesses that are 200 and 164 miles away from me. This is so annoying! Has anyone else had this problem?

Siri's location dependency for unrelated questions on iPhone 16 Pro Max When I ask Siri a question unrelated to MY location, she tells me she can't answer until I provide my location. for example: Siri where is Mt. Rushmore? She replies: "I can't answer that until I know your location"! I'm NOT asking for directions, JUST TELL ME WHERE IT IS! This is very frustrating. This never happened before recent software updates. I have a 16 pro max and location services IS turned on. Is anyone else having this problem or have a fix for this! Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Siri requires location services for voice dialing contacts on iPhone Siri needs location services on so it can track you to work to call your contacts on your phone This is BS. If I have contacts on my phone and I’m using Siri button to voice dial, I should not have to put my location services, so Apple has to track my every single movement of what I do. Apple fix this!!!! do better, Apple [Edited by Moderator]

Apple seems to be creating this annoyance to get users to turn on precise location tracking. There is no reason Siri should need your location to look up a contact from your phone contacts.
