Lack of continuation requests in Siri


Lack of continuation requests in Siri

I have been using Siri frequently to make calls, take reminders and send messages to my close friends. At times, I use Siri to check my favorite sports team score or about general facts during my leisure time and most times, post questions the Siri gets disconnected abruptly. Each time, post query to Siri I had to reinitiate the conversation to get the desired answers, so here is the use case scenarios
  • Sports team update and creating reminders for the game:  - When I check the current score of my favorite sports team from Siri, I get instant response with the answer. - However, when I wanted to make a reminder about the game's schedule or blocking calendar for the game, the Siri fails to follow-up the conversation and gets restarted. 
  • Lack of continuation requests in Siri Siri instantly responds with accurate information on ordinary questions or stats, however when the continuation question is raised, it begins from nothing, and the conversation continuation was missing. 
Apple should address this concern and make Siri more intuitive, when it wants to rival against the likes of Google's assistant, Microsoft’s' Cortana and Amazon's Alexa. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the articles published in "G R Team Sites".

Availability of Dolby Atmos in Amazon Music  

Apple has really shaken up the online music platform across globe with announcement of Dolby Atmos support for its entire music catalog and competitors were left with no other choice than announcing similar feature in their catalog. Amazon Music was one such competitor, who got terrified with Apple's announcement and had at once announced that it will extend the Dolby Atmos support for its entire music catalog. However, following are the issues with Amazon Music's announcement of Dolby Atmos support for its music catalog 
  • Yet to reveal launch date for Dolby Atmos availability: Post announcement of support for Dolby Atmos, Amazon Music has not committed on launch date for the availability of the feature and has been silent since the announcement of the feature. 
  • Availability of music albums: Amazon Music has also been silent on availability of Dolby Atmos feature, whether the choice will be enabled in upcoming albums, or albums that were available already with choice of rendering and will the Dolby support music for older songs and regional songs. 
Hope Amazon music makes an announcement on Dolby Atmos support for its music catalog at the earliest and ensures the users were able to experience the feature, or the music lovers will soon switch to Apple Music for its uniqueness.
