↳ USER REPORT

A fresh iOS 6 update. Siri misses the first try.

A user reports that right after updating an iPhone 4S to iOS 6, Siri ignored the first thing said after pressing the Home button, then reported a problem on the second attempt, while a second iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked normally.

The record

In a thread posted on September 22, 2012, a user reports that after updating an iPhone 4S to iOS 6 that day, Siri would not respond to the first request after a Home button press. On a second attempt, Siri reportedly said something had gone wrong and asked them to try again. The poster notes that another iPhone 4S in their hands, also updated to iOS 6, behaved normally, and asked the community for ideas without listing steps they had already tried. Other participants suggested turning Siri off, doing a reset, and turning it back on, with mixed results, and the original poster did not confirm a fix. This is one person's account and does not establish how common the problem was.
