“My life has become unbearable because of this”: Siri was forced to change her first name to end the ordeal

Siri had no choice. She had to change her first name. It was becoming unbearable. In the street, at work, at friends’ houses, all the iPhones were activated as he passed. Since Apple created “Siri”, its voice assistance, the life of this young Scottish woman has completely changed. Especially since the new update of the company’s service.

If you previously had to say “Hey Siri” to request help from voice assistance, today you just have to say “Siri” and the little voice automatically starts to ask how it can help. A real hassle when you have that name and you work in a business.

”I work at a gym with a lot of people, so everyone learned pretty quickly not to say ‘Hey, Siri’ when they greet me, otherwise there would be a lot of beeping. It was boring but manageable. Now people can’t even pronounce my first name,” she explains to The Sun. “My boyfriend installed the new update the other day and noticed that it was triggering his phone every time he talked to me. I’m completely furious. […] I’m sure Apple might have chosen something else instead. There are a lot of people named Siri and their lives have become unbearable because of it.”

Siri is therefore no longer called Siri today. It’s “Siz”, who welcomes and trains customers. She had to make this big decision, despite herself. “My colleagues had to sit down and think regarding an alternative because people’s phones kept ringing in the room,” she says.
