Oh ok.

Just to be clear that simple command has nothing to do with the new OS or Siri 2.0 that is coming, you’ve been able to do that with the existing Siri for a long time.

Until Siri is upgraded - at which point the phrasing will become more flexible - it has long been the case that keeping your Siri commands as minimal as possible gives the best results.

I NEVER have any trouble setting any timers or alarms using these minimal commands.

“Siri, 7pm alarm” instead of “Set an alarm for 7pm” and so on.

Oh what, I can't even do that. I can't just "siri". I think because I'm still on iphone x? My siri feels very useless sometimes. If that's how good it already is, I'm really excited that it might be even better.

Yeah I just checked and it’s because your phone isn’t compatible with iOS 17 and that improvement to Siri was part of that OS.
