Apple’s Siri is the virtual assistant that fulfills your every command unless you ask for something extraordinary. It is available on all the iDevices running iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems.
Recently, the iOS 14 and iOS 15 users have reported an issue with Siri. Every time when they ask Siri for sending or reading their emails, the assistant simply replies – Sorry. ‘I can’t help with that’.
While the other commands are running well, Siri just won’t respond or follows the questions regarding emails. This is surely a software bug which is needed to be sorted out internally.
@AppleSupport both iOS 14 and 15 no longer seem to support sending Mail with Siri. “Sorry, I can’t help with that”. Some users with sight loss used this heavily. Is the withdrawal of this feature deliberate? – Source
Hey @Apple– After reading my emails out loud to me every day for the past couple of years, Siri suddenly announced today “Sorry. I can’t help with that.” Not only is Siri not keeping up with the competition, now she’s regressing. What gives?” – Source
