Several accessibility controls have mysteriously disappeared from Siri, which leaves many users in a very difficult situation

Siri, like the other digital voice assistants that are Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, are quickly essential once properly integrated into our lives. Therefore, if a bug occurs, it is quickly frustrating. And that’s what seems to be happening to Siri recently. Or at least, Apple seems to have withdrawn a number of its orders.

Several accessibility controls mysteriously disappeared from Siri

One of the things Apple can boast about is accessibility. The Cupertino company is proud to offer products equipped with a wide variety of accessibility features, which make life easier for many people with various disabilities.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the apple brand seems to have removed some of these features from its digital voice assistant Siri.

According to several reports and posts on the AppleVis forum (a forum for Apple users who are blind or visually impaired), the release of iOS 15 would have removed some accessibility controls from Siri.

which leaves many users in a very delicate situation

Among the functions concerned, we can mention in particular the command to ask Siri about the user has voice messages, to ask him to read the voice messages, to check the history of calls and recent calls, to ask him who has called, send an email and send an email to a specific contact.

It is strange that Apple has removed these commands altogether, as they are very useful and important to many users.

It’s hard to know if Apple simply renamed these commands, which would be very impractical for users, or if it’s a bug. Chances are it is the latter option, a forum user claims to have spoken with Apple support and was reportedly told that the Cupertino company was aware of the problem.

So let’s hope that this will be corrected quickly to the extent that we can imagine that this disappearance has a significant impact on the lives of many people with disabilities for whom it is already difficult to use a smartphone on a daily basis.
