"Hey siri, set a timer for 50 minutes" (time my dryer takes). "Timer set for 15 minutes". Every god damn time. I say 49 minutes now.
Meanwhile, Google Assistant has no issues with anything like this. You can even set multiple timers. Which, for some inexplicable reason, is not possible in iOS.
Yeah but it suuucks for some other things. On iOS I can say cancel my alarm and it does it. Android says something and then opens the clock app to make me do it manually. Also things like saying nevermind change that timer to xx minutes works considerably better on siri imo. They both have their strengths and weaknesses but I personally think Siri is much more optimized with iOS than any assistants ever manage to be on Android.
My android phone doesn't do that at all. The nest devices definitely don't either.
I mean... Yes it does? What device do you have because I'm using stock? Actually nevermind. This is some highschool android vs iOS stuff and I just realized I don't actually care if you agree with things I know to be true anyway so I'm out.
