I find this to be one the most annoying things ever. I have tried every which way to get Siri to stop with the annoying ummhmmm. I did look at different discussions here, but can’t find anything recent. I’m hoping somebody has a miracle idea out there. I don’t even wanna use Siri in my car anymore. I can’t stand it.
iPhone 14, iOS 18
The answer has been repeated many times. Don't pause after saying the Siri activation word. Speak in one complete sentence as "Siri what time is it", not "Siri....What time is it". The topic commonly comes up from previous Android users who had to pause for Google to activate before speaking a command. That is not necessary or even recommended when using Siri.
Ironically, I have also seen posts from users who no longer heard the umhum and wanted it back so they knew Siri was listening. I would suggest to send Feedback to Apple for either of these situations. Maybe they need to have a setting to turn it on/off, or even be able to choose other acknowledgement phrases to use. Since there is no specific feedback category for Siri, I would suggest selecting your device type, then fill out the form for the request on using Siri.
Yes, I know it has been discussed. I don’t know. Maybe I just hope there was something very recent that has changed. As for the pause, I know that, too. Sometimes; however, we pause. Apparently, I pause a lot. That pause is causing so many periods in the middle of sentences and talk to text now. Anyway, thank you for your response.
Any recent ideas about how to get Siri to stop responding with um hum?
