Same here. Even that simple task (setting a timer) only has about a 75% success rate for me. The other 25% it spins for 30 seconds then says "hmm something went wrong". Trying for anything more complex, even playing a song or album, is just asking for trouble. I honestly can't believe how bad Siri is despite years of development.

I do have an older iPhone 10 and maybe it's just not up to the task of running Siri? But if so they should disable it rather than put on this extremely amateur feeling show.

For what it's worth we have an Echo Dot in the house and I find it to be both orders of magnitude more responsive and more likely to actually do what I asked for. No unwanted refrigerators have arrived as of yet.

I use Type to Siri on my Mac; all I ever use it for is "Play [song]". 70-80% of the time it goes: "something went wrong..."

When I try typing "Play [song] on repeat", it never understands that; it plays it, but not on repeat.

There's zero excuse due to mishearing me, since I'm typing everything. Siri is just defective, and I think it's a great measure of how dysfunctional Apple and poorly-run is. Why are all of Apple's AI and online-service efforts amateur hour?
