Siri has been bad for a long time now, but with the advent of AI tools like ChatGPT, it's clear that things are getting worse for Siri, not better. But I think this is the year it all changes.

Maybe instead of cash grabbing with a new iPhone, they only put it in the HomePod first before having it in other devices in 2025
I’m surprised Apple isn’t embarrassed about Siri
SJ would be.
Remember when the guy (I'm blanking on his name) got fired for the Apple Maps debacle? I guess since Siri didn't fail out of the gate, but rather languished due to lack of attention, there's no one blame any more.....
How is it that the senior Siri team hasn’t been fired?
It was a serious design error to make the HomePod Minis a perfect size and shape for throwing.
😂
Hahahaha
😭
Nice one.
LMAO
"Sorry, I don't know that one" is the most painful interruption when I can't figure out how to finish my question because I forgot a word or a detail and feel pressured to formulate the question just perfectly so that it might give me a verbal answer instead of linking me to a random article on the web. Oof. Might be the top of my wishlist for it to better understand when I'm pausing to think about how to finish a question rather than pausing because I'm done asking my question or my request.
The biggest annoyance compared to other digital assistants on smartphones, is Siri answering back with 'I found this, check it out...'. How about Siri just speak the answer back? Defeats the purpose of having hands free interaction. Alexa and Google (neither are perfect and in Alexa's case dangerous, as it always seems to want to give an answer, even if it doesn't understand), but they don't insist I read an article for myself.
That and if you're driving, she flat out refuses to find anything on the web since you're driving... I'm actually switching to Android because Siri sucks so bad.
I have to tip my hat to you. There are only 2 creators (so far) that edit their audio like this. You and Mark Felton. Your voice is equalized such as to make it absolutely PUNCH through my audio system and really help my old man ears to hear, listen and understand your speech very clearly. As someone who visited one too many loud Grateful Dead shows - I thank you kindly.
My poor Siri thinks I have Tourettes syndrome, simply because of the strings of profanity I throw at her on a daily basis. Nothing to be proud of, but common Apple, fix it already! Help me to be a better human being! I really want to love Siri!
Loved this comment!
and does siri suggest help for your tourettes? 😂
Same. :D
@@stefienardelli6388 No, but if ask the question she is very helpful giving me info on a TDF climb called the Col du Tourmalet! 🤣🙄
@@stefienardelli6388 No, but when asked about Tourettes, she gives me great info on the Col du Tourmalet in France!
The only time I use Siri is when I'm doing 3 minutes eggs that tells you everything you need to know
Thanks- and agree! If I hear “I found this on the web” from Siri again I’ll scream!
Siri should accept feedback on iOS products, especially maps. "Siri, that was a wrong turn." If people cuss, well, Siri is not human and has no feelings.
That's a clever suggestion. I've wanted to be able to say things like "Siri, this road is closed" for example.
@@ProperHonestTech Oh my one is simply to let Siri know when it has started playing a song totally unrelated to what I asked for. "Siri this isn't the song I asked for"
@@ProperHonestTech Speaking of Maps, I'd like to not even have to open the app, just say "Siri, I've got to run some errands.. I need to go to X, Y, and Z." "Okay, I'll let you know the best way. First turn left at the next stop sign.." When I look at the phone, the maps could just already be open and showing me relevant info. If i say "Actually, I want to go to this store, instead of this store." it can just factor that in without me needing to give it any additional information. It can keep working on the directions task in the background, rather than needing an app to stay open and "running" and can work with me giving it notes on what I need to pick up at the store while still giving me directions when I need it.. even "Siri, tell my mom I'm going to be late coming over this afternoon." and it'll formulate an appropriate text in my voice and let me know what it wrote before sending.
God I hate when I curse at Siri for being useless and it tells me “I’m just doing my job.” You’re a program, don’t make me feel bad for being frustrated
@@joelface I use iMaps everyday for work. Its been getting worse the last few months. Needs a serious overhauling as well.Google maps does also. Elon with his Starlink service is poised to make relics of both
Siri is the one item that Apple has botched from day one. It has to be the absolute worst "assistant" there is on the market. Siri makes Cortana look competent.
I asked Maps to take me to a McDonalds yesterday. It sent me down a dead end when I could actually see the restaurant on the other side of the road…
I liked this format for videos, and I think you do a great job with them. You already produce some of the best How To videos on various Apple products and features, so these essay videos are a great way for you to use your knowledge and talents to add another dimension to your CZcams channel.
IMHO the best tech help provider out there. love ya !
Hi Tom, I whole heartedly agree with you. I really hope this new feature is not hardware locked. I am a person with a severe visual impairment, I rely on my Apple tech a lot in my life each day, both at home and work. I can truly see how generative AI will be a huge benefit to those in the visually impaired community. Also, I really do appreciate your videos a great deal, and I love the new video essay format as well. Keep up the great work, it is most appreciated.
This is a VERY well thought out video that seems like a likely path for Apple to take. When the next iPhone comes out, it will include a brand new AI based. "Siri". That will sell more phones, but it will likely piss off a huge number of loyal Apple iPhone owners. Thank you for this video. I hope it will become required listening for Apple management.
Here’s how much I use Siri: "Call Joe Jones”. That’s it.
Set a timer for x minutes. Use that every day.
Surprisingly, I found Siri to be better at these simple command things than Google assistant.
It's probably the speech recognition. Apple has better recognition rn
@@findingthereal9052 I’ll try that.
just to confirm you would like to call Joe Jones is that right ?
call Joe Jones
Jessica Fern do you like to call Joe Jones is that correct ? 😔😔😔
I enjoyed this format a lot. Looking forward to more! 👍
I love ALL your videos, Tom, including your well-written video essays!
I appreciate your new video format Tom. Always very well presented anyhow, and this format is even better. Thanks.
This was a very well done and very informative piece of information that was just put out by you. Very glad I found you and I am a relatively new subscriber and happily so
The only thing I bother using Siri for is starting a timer.
Very insightful, thanks!
Love your back lighting in your studio.
Excellent commentary. Thanks.
You nailed it!!! Well done you.
It is a good format. I would seriously enjoy more of it.
I think this is by far the best video you have done. Which is amazing ,considering that your other videos are really, really good.
That's kind of you to say so. I'm glad it's being well received, as I really want to make more content like this. I love tutorials, but there's only so many 'tips' videos I can make, so keep an eye out for more videos like this!
I totally agree
very well written ep. to the point, answers questions, good insights.sub!
Watching the video on my Mac, and 40 seconds in Siri on my Mac interrupted you talking about the problems with Siri... nuff said! (Keep up the good work, btw.)
It’s shocking how far behind Apple is on Siri!
I find Siri cumbersome and unhelpful. Have not used it - lately. Curious enough is that when I “hail” Siri - it often does not respond…but will randomly “turn” on during conversations and become disruptive…
Simply excellent, on point. I believe your format is dynamic and interesting, I will not change. Just my 2 cents.
One recent “feature” that I can’t stand about Siri is that when I’ve asked Siri something and it’s showing me the results, the blue Siri bubble remains on screen listening to whatever I say next, which means I have to remain silent, and if I’m with friends I cannot talk to them about the results I’m seeing on my screen because Siri will think that I’m asking it a new question.
And only way for me to get rid of the blue bubble is by clicking out of the results entirely. This is such a dumb idea. If I want to ask a follow-up question it won’t kill me to say “hey Siri” again
I absolutely love this feature. I love not having to say hey Siri again, and being able to ask repeat questions. When you are through asking questions, and you know you don’t have anything else to say just say thank you and she will hang up immediately after saying you’re welcomeor some such. This way you can have it both ways.
I absolutely love this feature. But if you say thank you, when you’re finished, she will disappear immediately. I found that out by accident.
@@FemaleVillageElder no because once you say thank you the answer to your question disappears. You do not get it both ways. You can’t have the Siri bubble disappear while still viewing the answer to the question.
@@LachlanVines yes, you just say thank you when you are completely done with the task. I don’t see the problem.
@@FemaleVillageElder yes when you are completely done with the task, but that is not remotely what I am talking about. Read my initial comment again. I am complaining that while you view your Siri results, you cannot say anything out loud or Siri will think you are asking it another thing. I do not want this. I want to be able to talk while I view my Siri results. If I am with friends and I ask Siri something and I want to read the results to them, I literally can't otherwise Siri will take my speech as a question and try to answer it, thereby removing the initial results from the screen and replacing them with an answer to what it thinks is a new question.
Saying "thank you" gets rid of Siri, the bubble, and the question results all entirely from the screen. If that's your goal, it's much easier and faster to simply tap somewhere on the screen and Siri will disappear.
Nice video! I'm actually a fan of Siri and have been using it since it was a 3rd party app. Siri is pretty good at doing what is within it's limited scope of capabilities and I use it many times a day. Yes, it would be great if it was more intuitive in the future.
For me, it is a handy hands free helper when driving and around the house. It understands my Midwest U.S. speech patterns quite well and the latest version has far fewer false triggers.
Thanks for this and your other videos, keep up the good work!
Love this video!
👍 Clean, neat, informative and interesting. Only recently found your channel and your quality is high.
Nice Office 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video
I enjoyed your video about Siri. I thought you were spot-on about the changes they need to make. I hope they change Siri soon.
Proper Honest Tech is fast becoming one of my favourite/trusted tech channels - there's some behemouths out there of course, which makes it all the more impressive! Great content 😊
This is so spot on. Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone in giving up on Siri for most of my needs.
Unfortunately, the information you got here is horrifically wrong.
Whilst I realise these are just your thoughts on what Apple will do this year, I was planning to upgrade my phone to iPhone 16 but if I am only going to get the best new features on the high end model I'll stick with what I have thank you. I don't need all the fancy camera stuff you get with the high end models. I would just like Siri to be better.
I can't even ask what time is now.
Well thought out and presented video.
I use Siri for the very limited use case it is actually capable of handling- set reminders, call or text contacts etc. I’ve never thought I should expect it to do more for me, but I agree with you , it should be able to accomplish much more.
Brilliant as usual. I agree about Siri not working as well as it could. My son, a Galaxy user, laughs at me as Apple is behind on a lot of things.
You son is not too bright. SIRI needs to spy on what he says to be better, just like his Galaxy. It was the responsibility of his parent to warn him about spying, so it's your fault.
The thing that bugs me the most. You can say exactly the same thing on more than one occasion. The first works perfectly then on the second it gets it completely wrong.
I set up a shortcut triggered by saying ‘Siri Bookmark’, worked fine for a year then randomly started thinking I said ‘call Mark’! So I had to change it! Why can’t it learn what was required? Then even if it slightly mishears, default to that rather than randomly calling someone!!
When Siri can give the next line after Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp? which is Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong? I will believe that Siri is intelligent.
If you say to Siri, “Tell my wife I love her,” it will send your wife a message that says, “I love her.”
😂 Exactly!
I ONLY use siri to make notes when I'm walking. THis is when I think of things to remember. The end.
Good video. I would also be interested in a video that explains how to do some convenient work arounds to overcome the shortcomings of Siri.
A well constructed and balanced take on Siri. Thanks.
I like the new essay format
YESS 😊❤let’s do this!! I love it 🎉
Thanks
I really believe that Apple has been working behind the scenes and we will see a new Siri soon. But everything you have called out is spot on!
First, I like the new format. Nice update.
As far as Siri goes, I've always found it marginally useful, though somewhat surprising at times. I know, that's an odd mix, but perhaps that's why Siri is so frustrating.
I say marginally useful because I'm frequently in an environment where talking to my phone to access data is either rude (I'm already conversing with a person) or inconvenient (a noisy public space). A few swipes and taps usually get me to the data I want, and a quick glance gives me, and me alone, the data I want.
I say surprising because I will sometimes ask Siri to do something just of fun that I don't expect it to be able to do, and lo & behold, it does what I ask! THEN I'll ask it a seemingly simple task, and I get either a nonsensical reply, a link to a web article, or "I'm sorry..."
I remember reading a Science Fiction story a few years ago that had one character with what I would call a "brilliant" phone. It, among other things, could anticipated the needs of the owner, the interface was conversational speech (It even understood slang and inferences). It would notify the owner, without being first prompted, when the owner would need important information ("Pardon the interruption, Tom. Your friend said it's a 10 minute trip, but it's actually more like a 30 minute drive from here. You should leave now."). And it could do many of these things with an onboard database (no connectivity needed). It was essentially an artificial person on a phone. Until phone based AIs can do a these types of things (OK, perhaps with accessing the web for a fast data inquiry), it will remain a curiosity or gimmick (IMHO).
The problem is that when siri gets a massive upgrade, it stays like that for the past decade.. meanwhile, google and many other voice assistants are constantly getting updates.
well articulated .......
Siri has become rude, to the extent I avoid using it.
Rude? How? (Genuinely curious)
Siri's only use for me is to turn the lights in my room off or on when I'm about to sleep or I just woke up and to skip songs when I'm taking a shower.
Definitely agree. I’ve had moments I’ve had to think about a response and it would just take what I said. Or I may use a filler word “like, um” and it may not properly interpret it. In the Podcast app, you can create “stations” or “playlists”. I tried having Siri play it and it never works, even if I say “in Podcast app”.
My boss’s name is very close to Siri phonetically. In every single business meeting…someone’s iphone is going off thinking we are talking to it. So annoying.
That sounds so irritating. I was watching a CZcams video yesterday, where the female presenter said something was "seriously annoying" - MY HomePod responded with "I've found some articles on the web, I'll send them to your iPhone" 😡
Very informative video but most Siri users have known this for a few years now. I ask Siri for something and the reply is "Here is what I have found on the internet." Just like back in the day when we had that blue E in the white box for an internet explorer and entered a search we got Wikipedia and what we were looking for. Today we get Google which offers pages and pages of ads about what we inquired about instead of what we actually were looking for. $$ has corrupted the internet environment. Siri needs a rebuild from the bottom up. Thanks for this video.
My first Mac was a late 2012 27", and still is!
OMG, I thought it was just me. I've been asking the Siri group to stop messing with me by screaming at my iPhone. I am so embarrassed. And angry. But also better b/c you are an angel of great knowledge and I like your channel. From California to England, thank you.
I have two assistants.
Siri and Google.
Consistently the Google assistant outperforms Siri by actually answering my queries instead of sending me to read about them.
I do use Siri for the most basic of tasks such as telling me the time, setting reminders or turning on a light.
But an upgrade is ,and has been for a very long time , needed.
let's face it if they don't back-port Siri 2.0 to as many users as possible then we're looking at a Windows Phone scenario lol
I liked the video essay style and enjoyed the content. I experimented with pronouncing Siri like an American ‘Seeri’ and now it nearly always answers me 😂. It used to my ignore my dulcet Glaswegian tones😂
LOL @ your dulcet Glaswegian tones. Raaawr
All Siri options enabled and HomePods installed at home:
Siri, play my Playlist. -> "I don't know who is speaking, who are you?".
Siri, remind me to do XY every Sunday at 10am. -> "Sorry, I can't do that"
Siri, do XY... -> "There is a problem with the connection, please try later". Would be better to say: "Please enable Multicasting and IGMP Snooping on your wireless router. In addition disable Airtime Fairness and lock HomePods to 5GHz Wifi Bands to make stable connection". This would have saved hours of research on Reddit.
😂😂😂
Tom - agree with much of your criticisms of Siri though I do think the actual voice recognition aspect is improving. My main beef with it though is how poor it functions in a multi-device environment. I ask a question to Siri on my iPad and I see the response on my watch. Or worse, sitting in my lounge room I ask a question to my iPhone and in the distance hear the answer being given on the HomePods in the kitchen. So doesn’t seem like even basic tech issues are nailed down - and that coming from someone who worked for Apple as an engineer in the early 90s. Enjoy your show.
8:48 LOL, that will be the day! I gave up on it years ago, every time I said the name of the city I live in, it would vector off into LaLa Land. It was effectively worse than useless as it was a bad distraction while driving.
When Siri first was a thing, it was really great, I thought it was just me thinking it really stinks now. 😢
I have had iPhones since version 3 and still have my iMac 27" from 2013 plus a newer 24" for about a year; also Apple Watch. I rarely use Siri on any device. I don't think I have ever found it that useful. But I am not a "power user." I have used it with Apple Play in my car to perform a task while I am driving. I think your theories on possible future versions are fascinating. Excellent point on having the new AI on only the newest devices; that would make sense from Apple's perspective. I am not upgrading anything right now just to get the newest Siri. Too bad we can't ask Siri to send a text message to Tim Cook to let him know what we think! Cheers.
Siri is a major pain and makes me want to throw my phone against the wall. The recent dumbing down of Siri is I used to be able to ask when a song is playing what year was it released. With 17, it just repeats the name of the song I'm listening to.
I came from years of Android and Google Assistant to Siri when I switched to iPhone 15 Pro Max, had I released how much of a joke Siri is I wouldn’t have changed. My whole house runs on Google voice commands and I haven’t been able to switch it Home/Siri because it’s so bad.
My watch says things to me all the time without me asking her of anything.
I disabled Siri years ago. Apple’s assumption is that everyone needs it, which they don’t.
I’ve had Siri turned off for years, I gather it hasn’t got any better.
Siri is sooo bad! (In German)
I only use it to start timers or appointments.
Every thing else you try is NOT working!
I get disappointed every time I try to.
16:55 Siri does have some problems, I’m a blind user I have to deal with Siri voice and AI. I wish I could turn some functions on and off. There’s a lot of conflicts between voiceover and standard gestures. They sometimes conflict. There’s a lot of issues that need to be worked on, but overall is still a pretty good system. I surely hope the new AI has the ability to be turned off just like some things like rotors I don’t use rotors it confuses a blind person because it changes, but there is no avenue to turn these things off. If you turn off the gestures for these things, it conflicts with your normal gestures, Apple needs to clean up its real estate. They put functions and switches all over the map and a lot of times you have to go and figure out what is dominating the gesture and where it is and I wished they would organize things and get out of the dyslexic mapping of commands and the like enjoy your video. Thank you very much. 16:55
I really hope that they deliver with the much smarter Siri this year
Really loved this video! I think they should implement more languages too. Living in a not-English-speaking country I never use siri because talking to my phone in another language would feel so weird and unnatural 😂
Double-tap on the watch is as frustrating siri. It NEVER works first time, occaisionally the second time but usually doesn’t work at all. And yes I make the movement as unambiguous as possible, make sure to raise my arm and turn my wrist so the watch is visible but it just doesn’t work. I use timers all the time so it would be very helpful but not if it’s so inconsistent. Anyone elase have this?
I think you are right about new SIRI being exclusively on the new phones. Maybe SIRI 2 will be on older models too, but something like "SIRI Pro" would be on the new phones only. The reason being, these local LLMs require a lot of storage. I can see Apple adding a separate ~128GB LLM storage/logic chip, not an SSD, but something like MRAM that combines both non-volatile memory and logic that would be used only for their LLM and updates to it. This would be necessary to run SIRI using their LLM model as at least it's primary modes all locally. But it would still reach out to extrernal sources for additional modes. There really isn't any other way to do this locally, so even if they wanted to they couldn't bring full fidelity local inference, besides some very limited small LLM models, that would be much weaker than I wouldn't think Apple would employ, but maybe I'm wrong about that and maybe that could still be an option for older phones with higher memory. I also can see Apple charging a subscription for something like "SIRI Pro", as there is a very real cost to operating data centers with the latest AI chips. Maybe $10 per person, $20 per family or, included in Apple One that's going to increase by $10?
One way to both monetize Siri AI and make it available on more devices would be to bundle it with Apple One, perhaps in the Premiere tier or as a separate add-on.
You are the best at following Siri. Thank you SO much.
I, too have an M2 iPad Pro, and I am very much hoping that Apple, if they must restrict Siri 2.0 will restrict it to the M series, iPad, or at least all devices with the neural engine. Apple fans have waited for an update to Siri for so long. I think it would be bad publicity to limit it any further down. Besides, Apple has been touting this Neural Engine for so long, let us see what it can do. I know for sure that I will not be buying a new iPad because I do not want the OLED display, due to its rumored risk of burn in.
What I most want from Siri is that she is able to control all the things on my device. If this is on device, I don’t worry about any privacy, but I would like for her to be able to tell me how much money is in my Apple account, I would like her to be able to troubleshoot problems with the iPad and I would like (not Siri related,) for Apple, to encourage developers to allow their apps to be split screen. There’s no point in the split screen multitasking, if most of the apps do not support it.
Also, I really hope that Apple does not depend too heavily on shortcut integration with Siri. The majority of people, I feel, unless they are techies, don’t know how to operate Shortcuts or just don’t take the time. Siri should be able to do everything without necessary shortcut integration, and it should be able to do everything that spotlight can do only by voice.
I’ve always liked the idea of shortcuts, in the sense of a Siri App Store of sorts, but the current implementation is terrible. As far as I know, all of them require your phone being unlocked and they have some sort of GUI action. That defeats the purpose of an assistant! I want to use them when my phone is in my pocket or when I’m driving! It’s so frustrating when you’re driving, you give Siri a command, only to hear: “Sorry, you have to unlock your iPhone first.”
I think the perfect assistant for Apple would have been something like Bixby, which can integrate with plugins in a more predictable way than ChatGPT, allowing Apple to leverage their ecosystem of apps which could work together. No, it was not great at conversing with you, but that was never the vision of Siri, it was always supposed to be a quick way to accomplish tasks, not to pretend to be intelligent.
Some interesting theories on Siri. I am an extremely light Siri user, mostly because it rarely accurately understands what I say. I look forward to seeing if your prediction hold or fold.
The video essay is great IMO. Keep them coming.
Yes Siri has become mostly frustrating and I just dont use it, hardly ever. Google is much more competent but has its shortcomings as well. Great video and I believe you are spot on with your assessments. As my thoughts was going in certain directions during the video, you would address exactly what I was thinking.
It seems Siri has gotten worse for some reason over the years. I've had it try to help in a completely unrelated way of what I ask, as in no relation to any of the words I spoke. I believe it is getting buried in data and making its shortcomings easier to see than when initially introduced. When it was fairly new technology it didn't seem this bad.
Wait it’s actually Siri’s fault and I’m not a tech illiterate dinosaur at the ripe age of 39? Wheh that’s a sign of relief
Siri can’t even tell me the time in some countries anymore
“Siri what’s the time in Netherlands?”
Siri: “I found this on the web”
The thing that absolutely drives me up the wall is Siri's inability to play songs correctly. Example, I'll be in my car driving and I'd want to listen to a song that has the number two in the title. It simply won't play that song, instead, it'll play the version one of the song (song in question Unforgiven 2 being requested, and Unforgiven being played). The other gripe is with playlists in Apple Music having numbers. One of my playlists used to be called 24x7 Music. If I asked Siri to play it, it'd play some a song that had (twenty-four-seven) in the title, even though I asked it to play my playlist. I got so frustrated, that I changed the playlist name to something else! The worst part is, it used to work fine! I could go on..
I have been using Siri more on the Apple Vision Pro since I got it since she saves me time in looking and selecting....the second place I use her is on my watch (for alarms, timers, reminders, and calculations like tips). However, I never use her on my phone (really don't think I need her as much there). I would love to see Siri powered by OpenAI - but I don't know if that partnership is still available since OpenAI has partnered with Microsoft. Wouldn't it be great if the big tech companies worked together and made cross-platform uses for AI? Thank you for this video - great thoughts!
Love the new format 🤩. However, I thought 2.0 is 2 point zero... When did o become 0?
So glad you did this video. I agree, Siri is SO BAD. I'm not sure if it has gotten worse, or if after using AI tools for the past 18 months that I expect Siri to be much more sophisticated than it is.
Nice video, useful explanation of probably why Siri is so bad. I have Google nests all around the house and whilst they too are frustrating and illogical at times they are well ahead of Siri. I fear that Cash grabbing Apple will make ‘ Siri 2 ‘ a premium project and to hell with all our older iDevices. This could finally make me start the move to Android.
It can't do even thing it could just a few months before. I have no idea why. I had problems with currency conversion... what else we need to say?
I hope they don't invest in it because some new version is on the way. If it's not, I'm going with Samsung next year.
Would be nice to see a video on how to use Google Assistance on an iPhone.
I turned Siri off because she was interrupting my conversations and I told her " I'm not talking to you Siri".
Siri turn on my BEDSIDE LAMP. *Turns on every light in the bedroom*. Siri turn off the BEDROOM LIGHT. *Turns off only the ceiling light I didn't ask it to turn on in the first place*. I have no idea how Siri make this mistake but it does 🤣😒
Siri needs to go back to where only the person who it has been trained to recognize can ask it something, not everyone that calls out for it l
Siri is very primitive I stopped using her a while ago. I use Alexa and she makes Siri look like a three year old. Really surprised that Apple think she is even remotely adequate.
A new Siri activation icon would nice. I’m so tired of the current, extremely old one😊
