The bottom line on this is that -- while developer abuse of certificates is definitely a problem that Apple's going to have to find a better way to address -- due to some of the in-built protections in iOS, this was <b>far</b> less of an issue on iOS than it was on Android, where the app was able to capture pretty much anything it wanted.<br /><br />In the iOS version, users had to give permission for each of the areas where it wanted to gather data, for example, which might raise suspicions ("why does my carrier need permission to access my voice memos or contacts?"). The Android version installed a rootkit, meaning it had full access to everything.<br /><br />In addition, the iOS version of the app was not distributed in the App Store, even in Italy and Turkemenistan (where the app pretended to be the official app of one of the local carriers), The iOS version was given out only to people willing to "side-load" a dev-only app; the Android version was distributed in the Play Store and other outlets for anyone to download.<br /><br />Finally, Apple's revoking of the certificate means the app can no longer run at all, even if users granted permissions. The Android version was kicked off the Play Store, but the installed versions are still happily ticking along, having used the rootkit to gain full access. </div> <span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="137459" title="fotoformat -

The fix is to go into your iPhone settings -> Wi-Fi, and tell it to <b>ask</b> to connect to unknown networks (known networks will still be joined automatically). If there's a notoriously bad "known" network you've joined before that doesn't work (I have this problem in some parts of town with the carrier's hotspots), tell the iPhone to "forget" that network. This will cause your iPhone to rely on LTE data when you're not on a known-good Wi-Fi network, and thus the connection between your iPhone and the Watch will be stronger and thus Siri will work much more reliably. It made a huge difference for me, I hope it does the same for you.<br /><br />Regarding pronunciation ... I agree that there could be more done in the area of fixing bad pronunciations, there is a way to correct names, here is the method I use to train it from scratch:<br /><br />1. Ask Siri for the phone number of the name you know it will mispronounce.<br /><br />2. After it says the name incorrectly aloud, say "that's not how you pronounce it."<br /><br />It will then ask you to say the name, listen, and offer you choices of pronunciation. Select the one that is closest, and then it will pronouce it correctly next time. </div> <span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="191650" title="cornchip - Informative on June 6, 2019."><a title="cornchip" href="/profile/191650/cornchip" class="PhotoWrap PhotoWrapSmall"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=954a4c36cad3e8bc946f174c2b4bb0e7&amp;size=50&default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2F954a4c36cad3e8bc946f174c2b4bb0e7.png" alt="cornchip" class="ProfilePhoto ProfilePhotoSmall" /></a><span class="ReactSprite Reaction-4 ReactInfo"></span></span><span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="233659" title="Vermelho -

The House has passed literally hundreds of bills on all manner of topics this session -- indeed it would be considered by far the most productive House session in recent memory, but for one thing: the Senate Majority Leader is simply not taking up these bills. At all. The last time I checked, there was over 200 bills stalled by the Senate leader.<br /><br />NORMALLY, the Senate passes its own version of House bills (or rejects them by voting), then a committee reconciles the two versions to send on for the President's signature (or veto). This hasn't happened for nearly all bills passed by the House. There is apparently no penalty for this behaviour. </div> <span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="216216" title="Soli - Informative on July 24, 2019."><a title="Soli" href="/profile/216216/Soli" class="PhotoWrap PhotoWrapSmall"><img src="https://forums.appleinsider.com/uploads/userpics/722/n7RN31CF0MWIZ.jpg" alt="Soli" class="ProfilePhoto ProfilePhotoSmall" /></a><span class="ReactSprite Reaction-4 ReactInfo"></span></span><span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="52330" title="nomadmac -

After some 18 years in business, and a decade as the streaming service leader.<br /><br />It should also be mentioned that Spotify’s royalty rate is really, really low. Apple Music, by comparison, pays around 2.5x what Spotify pays, and that was before Apple’s recent carrot-dangling of even higher royalties if artists record or remaster in Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos.<br /><br />Then throw in their absolute indignation at giving Apple $100/year in developer fees, which is the only money Apple apple earns from them. I happen to live in the same city as one of the execs of Spotify, and I’ll just say they live a billionaire lifestyle while their investors get little and their artists (inventory) gets even less.<div><br /></div><div>So if you’re wondering where the bulk of the money goes, the answer is “not where it should.”</div> </div> <span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="109215" title="rob53 -

have all their devices - and was very enthusiastic when Siri first came out.  But over the years, Siri has moved inches, while competitors have moved miles - I can't believe a company that spends $22b on R&D can't make its voice assistant more useful in people's day-to-day lives.  So disappointing.</div> </blockquote> Siri will NEVER EVER be as “smart” as other voice assistants, so you’d better get over this right now. The reason? Because Siri doesn’t heavily rely on the <b>collected data about you that encompasses more than even your parents know about you</b>.<div><br /></div><div>Siri continues to work very well for me, because I know what it can do and I don’t have much need outside of it helping me organise my day/life. I am fully aware that if you ask it some random question, probably phrased poorly, it will punt to web results. This is because it <b>doesn’t have access to everything you have ever searched for or asked about ever in your life to help piece together what you actually want</b>.<br /><br />Maybe my needs are unusually simple, but I appreciate that Siri isn’t spying on me to get “smarter,” because it currently does 95+ percent of what I want it to do. I think the main area where Siri actually needs work is on accent recognition, and I could certainly see where Siri may in the future ask you to train it to your voice with more phrases than it does now.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is much harder to develop a system that uses “AI” (in quotes on purpose) without scraping and selling all your personal data, which is why progress on Siri has been very slow (though it has in fact improved a great deal in recent years, at least in my use of it) compared to the companies that raid your brain for your every thought. But this is like praising the child who answers the algebra question by looking over another student’s shoulder, and failing the child who did all the work themselves because it took too long IMO.</div> </div> <span class="UserReactionWrap" data-userid="206575" title="lolliver -
