Why is Siri worse in iOS27 than ever before?

Siri AI Beta in iOS27 is so much worse than Siri used to be. How is this possible? The lag. Siri's inability to find and add things now to my Reminders lists. Basic functionality that it had for generations of iOS are gone. It sucks.


I have a iPhone 18Pro, a Watch Series 11, and iPad Pro from 2025, and a M4 Pro MacBook with 48GB of Ram. It cannot be my equipment.

Siri AI is in beta. You apparently don't understand what "beta" means. Turn off Siri, then turn it back on and select Siri Classic when prompted.


Betas have bugs and issues. If you can't work with the beta effectively, turn it off until it's fully baked.


I tried it. What it can do is pretty cool. Unfortunately, the delays and quirks caused more issues than I was willing to deal with right now, so I turned it off.

We're just users so we can't answer "why..." questions.


Also, you're not allowed to discuss beta here. When you're running beta you're not a user, you're a tester and you should be giving feedback to Apple via the feedback assistant.


Finally, it's not recommended to run beta on your main devices . If you are then you need to be aware of the risks and have the appropriate backups in place. If not then you need to do some research.

You can discuss Siri AI here even though it's listed as "beta." It is part of the public release of iOS 27.
