Siri don't text my contacts in iOS 10

I have a problem with my iPhone that I didn't have before the update to iOS 10. I think that it is somehow connected to the Contacts, but I can't understand that.

If I go to Messages and select an existing thread, can I message someone quite easily with the keyboard. However, if I ask Siri text my wife, or text < name >, the message does not send. He finds himself in a new thread called iPhone, with a bunch of unsent messages. I tried to delete contacts and adding them back but have the same problem.

Trust kind of this feature while driving so I'd love some ideas on how to fix this problem.

This thread name "iPhone" sounds like a clue.

These contacts are set up in the correct form?  Maybe they were imported from an external source (e.g., Facebook) and therefore not be configured correctly?

  • Each contact has a name configured correctly?
  • Is there an "iPhone" identified as such by a domain name?
  • Is every single person (not duplicated) in your contact list?

You can save old iMessage (or SMS), perhaps with son multiple recipients, including your intended recipient, which could be confusing for Siri?

  • I don't want to update to IOS 9

    Dear Sirs,

    I don't want to update to IOS on my device. But the legacy continue to send me notifications 2 times a day. How to turn the notifications?

    Thank you.

    Short answer, you can't. Your iPad will automatically download iOS updated when he is in charge, connected to WiFi, and there is enough free space. You can remove the package entirely downloaded iOS (parameter - storage... If I remember correctly), but it will re - download and start the nagging lets you install when the download is complete.

  • I don't have any contact info for the former owner, what can I do?

    I don't have any contact info for the former owner, what can I do?

    If the iPhone requires an Apple ID and password from the previous owner to unlock: then nothing. Return it to where you bought it and demand a refund. The iPhone doesn't help you.

    Otherwise, you will need to explain why you need the previous owner.

  • Add a new text message Contact in 10 IOS?

    I have the latest IOS update on my iPhone 6 s.  A text message came through with the phone number because I didn't have that person in my Contact list.  When I typed the 'Détails' icon, he was no longer the option 'add a new Contact '.  How do you do that now?

    Hi, pgalli!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reading your post, I understand you want to create a new contact with an incoming text messages, but have been unable to find a way to do it in iOS 10. I know it's important to keep your contacts up to date, so I'd be happy to help you!

    Instead click on the 'i' in the upper right of the message (where the details used to be in iOS 9), type right on the actual phone number itself at the top in the center of the message. You will be taken to another screen that contains a message option or call the number, but also options apart from Contact, create a new Contact and add to Contact existing.

    See you soon!

  • After that iOS 10 Upgrade, Siri can send text messages.

    I have an iPhone 6.  I have upgraded to iOS 10 (10.0.1) this morning.  Everything seems to work very well with the exception of Siri is unable to send text messages.  It was working fine before the upgrade.

    'Hey Siri' addresses.  I say to "send a message to Patti mobile xxxx."  Siri says and asks what I want to say.  I said the message.  It saves the message as usual and asks me if I want to send it.  I say 'yes '.  He says "your message has been sent.

    Then, I get an error message saying that the message could not send.  The message is then listed with a recipient of: _ $! < mobile >! $_ the message below is "Message send Failure."

    Any thoughts?  Thanks for your time.

    10 iOS update resets some parameters according to me.  It worked for me to go to Options - LTE data - cell - cell settings enable and toggle either 'Off' or 'Data Only'.  Texting non-Apple do not seem to work if "Voice & Data" is selected.

  • Lost a lot of contacts after ios 10 update, don't know what the problem is?

    Where exactly to save your contacts? Have they synced via iCloud?

  • Replacement of text disappeared after upgrade ios 10.0.1

    I have an ipad 9.7 pro and an iphone 5s

    I've updated the IOS 10 software and the iPad don't would not recognize the charge lead, the apple store has replaced the ipad. After receiving the new ipad, I went to restore from my latest icloud save.

    Since the update iOS 10.0.1 two devices I've lost replacing text on both devices.

    all my shortcuts for work disappeared.

    I tried to disconnect to icloud and re-start of the ipad so far no change.

    I don't have a mac computer.

    Hi rluschtinetz,

    If I understand your message that after upgrade to iOS 10.0.1 on your 5s iPhone and iPad 9.7 Pro, you're missing the replacement of text on both devices. With the help of text replacements are very practical and I will be happy to provide information on this.

    Restore from a backup of iCloud can take a long time depending on the amount of data included in the backup, you can check if the restore process completed by going to settings > iCloud > storage. Also, I want to make sure that you are connected to iCloud on both devices. Then check if you can see your replacements of text on one of your devices. If you have a recent backup of iTunes for one of the devices, you can also do a restore of the unit in question as well.

    Nice day.

  • Recent contacts in iOS 10?

    I have updated to iOS 10 yesterday, and I noticed that now, when I slide right, I get a lot of things like the weather, maps, destinations, recent applications, next, etc.  The only thing that I get more four most recent contacts, I called him, that is the only thing I use the most.

    It was so easy to slide, press the photo of my husband or the mother and make a call.  Now, I have to either open the messages app (and press his picture), or the contacts app and scroll down to find the number.

    How can I get my 4 most recent contacts back on this screen, so I don't have to go through the extra steps?  I tried to use the button Edit, but it doesn't have the ability to add contacts.

  • Non-visible text of contacts in Outlook

    Hello
    I suffer from the same issue that I found posted anywhere on the internet this morning - my Contacts list is illegible because the text is barely visible, as if the map is too small for the space allowed.

    I have:
    My cache of dumping
    Played with the zoom and CTRL - sets all the text to view, but at this time, it is too small to read.
    Checked the section tools/options/content - minimum size fonts the value 'none', web sites set their own sizes.
    All my browsers / add ons etc are up to date
    It looks fine in IE, but I don't use IE

    What else is there?

    Reset the zoom of page on pages that are causing problems.

    • View > Zoom > reset (Ctrl + 0 (zero); 0 + Command on Mac)

    You can use an extension to set a page zoom and the size of the default font on the web pages.

  • iCloud don't sync imessages, contacts

    Hello

    I had some iphones and macbooks for a long time and always perfectly switched to a newer model with icloud (Time Machine)

    recently, something broken my iphone 6, it began to freeze, and because my job requires always be on, I quickly bought a 6 s. I discovered that the problem wasn't in the SW HW, and he was also present on all my backups icloud. So first of all time, I installed a phone like new and activated my icloud account.

    Long story short, after a new installation, Icloud has not recovered most of my iMessages. I got to this point, but nothing before.

    I've decided I can live with that I have all my messages on my mini ipad and my macbook, so all right.

    Then I realized a lot of contacts are missing from my macbook air. They have been removed somehow. This I discovered that a text from my oldest friend, whose number is in Favorites, is not associated with a name on my macbook, but it does on my phone. Around checking on icloud.com, my macbook and my phone, I have foud here are couple hundred contacts that have been deleted to icloud.com, macbook, but they are on the phone.

    I then bought a new macbook 12 ". I moved on eveyrthing with Time Machine, and, of course, he has the same problem. He has iMessages to 2014, but lacking in contacts.

    Today, I bought a Pro 9.7 "iPad. He got my restore ipad mini. There imessages around 2013, but missing the last two weeks when my ipad mini was not justified to icloud. It also lacks contacts.

    As an experiment, I disabled the synchronization of contacts on the iphone icloud and asked to delete the contacts. This erases all the contacts. This means that the phone store these contacts on icloud (not in another box for letters or group), but don't download them. I have back since my icloud backup phone.

    so now I have:

    MacBook: imessages contacts 2014-today ' today, missing

    iPad: marc imessages 2013-2016, lack of contacts

    iPhone: imessages February 2016 all contacts so far

    I tried:

    -turn the imessages market on all devices

    -selection and de-selection of imessage e-mail addresses

    -turn on synchronization of contacts and power off all the devices

    -fusion of contacts with icloud on the phone

    -reboot everything and cursing a lot

    can anyone suggest something that I have not tried? This is something I have not expeted to apple, I always had the best experience with icloud, and now I'm grabbing around my iDevices for pieces of missing data. Very annoying.

    When you configure devices as new imessages will not be restored and it is a normal behavior. While the problem of contacts is left and if you have them on your phone and in icloud.com site, then you just to make sure that your ipad and your mac has icloud contacts enabled and activated in groups.

    Your message is quite long and it is good, a detailed description, but it is also difficult to predict if I got what you want and if not, sorry.

  • Siri gone mad/dysfunction after updating to ios 9.2.1

    To my dismay, I finally gave and updated my iPhone 4s to the latest version of the software. iOS 9.2.1 as the reminder has been uninterrupted. My fear came through as it does with every update, things go from bad to worse.  To my horror, I asked Siri what is the weather tomorrow, and he says: "okay, I'll call Jane on his fixed phone!  So I asked another simple question as secret kg miles, once again, he said: "this number now!  On the screen, there was a number overseas, that I could not recognize and it was dialing it!  I never compose stranger with my phone.  I asked for the third time to another question simple, just in case; I had to find a local restaurant close to home and to my horror, he says 'ok, Facetiming MOM now'! Can pls someone tell what is the solution?  Insult to injury, wallpaper of my screen (personal photo), was so great that half the faces cannot be seen.  She does this with all the other personal photos, I try to use as wallpaper.  If I can live with that, but with Siri crazy that could cost me I won't make calls.  Thank you.

    3. Restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
    4. On your iOS device, go to settings > general > Siri and turn off Siri. Then turn on again.
    5. Ensure that the microphones on your device are not blocked. For example, if your device has a protection case, remove it.

  • How do you prevent Siri to send text messages?

    My children told me just show a problem with my iPhone 6 and Siri:

    My phone is locked, my child picks up the phone, press the home button and said "Send by David SMS", Siri let him write a voice message: "what is your social security number?   Siri sends, my other child shows me it seems I just send the message from my iPhone.

    David sends what looks like his social security number (it is not, we test all this), and the message appears on my locked iPhone.

    So if I left my phone sitting around, everyone could use Siri to do things like this for the information of anyone in my Contacts, even though I have a 6-digit code and fingerprints id put in place.

    What settings I need to change on my iPhone 6 to ensure that ever happening?

  • Songs don't copy on iPhone after iOS 10

    Hello-

    Hello. I seem to have two problems with my iTunes now past.

    (1) because I have installed iOS 10, iTunes won't actually add songs to my iPhone. I can copy in the playlist, but then they "cling" grayed out, without actually copying on the phone, like this...

    "The gray ring" never turns and really puts the song on my phone. Some tips?

    (2.) I was not able to update iTunes itself for some time now. I don't know why, while I lived and screen captured the error looking for help. Perhaps it would help to the first question, too, although nothing to update iTunes regularly got really bad until iOS 10 came a few weeks ago...

    I have download to update...

    Here goes...

    And then it's the case...

    Tips on how to solve this problem? Or do I just reinstall the program completely? I'm worried that might spoil playlists and my sync with my phone, however, want to NOT lose everything that he and I am worry that anything that prevents the update prevents a 'cold' in installation and not really fix the problem.

    Thank you very much.

    I also experience question (1). The only solution I've found so far is to delete the files greyed out iPhone, unplug it from my machine and start the process again. However I also add this problem with a previous version of iTunes and iOS with my old iPhone 4s, but he seems to be even worse with iOS 12.5.1 iTunes 10 and my iPhone 6.

  • Frozen contacts after iOS 10.0.1 update on the iPhone 6 s and sometimes phone stops itself

    Hi all

    My contacts sometimes freeze (when I search a contact) and I have to force to leave contacts/phone to re - use the contacts/phone app. This has happened only once 10 update iOS. My phone also sometimes just suddenly stop (that too after the update!) It has happened twice already. The battery was more than sufficient when it happened.

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards

    Harris

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
