I have asked Siri over and over to take pictures. The only result I get is that it opens the camera app. Nothing more.
Am I missing something, a setting or ????
You are very correct, i just tried with this ” Hey Siri, Take my selfie “, it just opened the App, my iPhone has been updated so not sure if Apple has removed this functionality. it looks the update must have done something.
