[nabs-l] IOS 10

Wed Sep 21 22:33:22 UTC 2016

I have had a similar issue with Siri occasionally in the older IOS version, so I think it is just Siri acting up.
I did not know about the voicemail transcription option, but I also have  heard of another feature that I have not seen. Apparently with the messages app, you are supposed to be able to just write the name of an emoji icon and it pops up, for example "I really can't believe I have to do this grimacing face", then the grimacing face is supposed to automatically pop up. I haven't seen that either.

I just received a couple of voicemails, and haven't sceen any options to get to the transcription option.  The only options I see areplay/pause voicemail, voicemail position, share, audio,

Well, just today I tried to call someone, and for some reason Siri thought that I was calling an incomplete number.  I counted exactly four attempts of me trying to call with the same results, until finally I discovered that, in this new version, (at least for me) you need to tell Siri the numbers very clearly.  This is strange, because I didn't need to speak as clearly in previous IOS versions.
