TBH Siri needs more than a fix, it needs to be thrown in the garbage and built again from the ground up.

LET US USE A DIFFERENT WAKE WORD THAN SIRI

MY HOMEPOD MINI IN THE OTHER ROOM ACTIVATES WHEN SAYING HEY SIRI TO MY PHONE RIGHT NEXT TO MY FACE.

solved by giving us wake words options like alexa has done since what 2010.

Lots of Siri haters... I find that I usually get what I want from her. I was pleased this morning when I heard my phone alarm clock blaring in the distance while I was in the shower, figured I'd have to put up with it's incessancy or go running wet and naked to silence it (didn't think the phone would hear me from inside the shower), then remembered I have a new HomePod mini in the bathroom, asked Siri to silence my alarm, and Siri instantly responded "I've silenced the alarm on one of your devices". Not a difficult task, but I never knew it could do that, and it worked just as I had hoped!

This thing is the most infuriating device ever. "Hold On" "just a sec" " I didn't get that" "sorry not in your playlist" Or it just plays one of the stereo speakers, ignores play everywhere, or ignores volume request.
