Has anyone successfully achieved back to back request functionality on the iOS 17 beta?

I’ve successfully enabled the “Siri” invocation instead of “Hey Siri,” but I’m struggling to make back-to-back requests work.

Has anyone worked it out?

    It’s been very fucky with me anyway. I’ve tried to get it to work a few times and it’s always messed up. Pretty disappointing to see, although it is the first beta.

    I don’t think it was things like “set the lights to 100% and green” I think they planned on people doing “set the lights to 100%, set the lights to green”, which still doesn’t work very well for me.

    Unsurprisingly, Siri still feels very unbaked, which is very disappointing all things considered.

      You are correct, I that’s how I understood it from the WWDC presentation, but then I read some comments on by other users on reddit that seem to be able to string them together in one command, but I may have misinterpreted it.

      It’s early days for the beta, hopefully they get it sorted out, but I agree, overall Siri is disappointing given where others platforms have progressed.

        I just tried “set the lights to 100% and green” a few times on lights and it only got the first part, but it allowed me to do “set the lights to 100%" and then “set the lights to green" immediately afterwards, which it did get.

        So from that, it’s probably more so that it just “Continued Conversation” like Google Home and I think Alexa has had for awhile now, I don’t think it was the contextual natural language commands that I think we were all hoping for.
