Between Siri Shortcuts, lots of new Watch stuff, and tons of app updates today, it’s almost overwhelming where to start with iOS 12 and watchOS 5. But the fun kind of overwhelming.

@40Tech the new Raise to Siri is wonderful.

@jhull Have you had any misfires, where the Watch thought you were talking to it but weren’t? I disabled it after reading the review at Birchtree.me, where Matt said it sometimes would think he talked to it, and it would blurt something out. I can't have that happening in court.

@40Tech yes I can see where that would be a problem. :) it only misfires if I’m talking about Siri or if I’m listening to a podcast that says “Hey Siri”. It has gone off a couple of times if I’m resting my head on my hand while driving. I feel like the inadvertent firings aren’t happening as much in the past couple of weeks.

@jhull Good to know, thanks. I'll probably keep my eye on anecdotal mentions of the feature before re-enabling it.
