New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on May 19, 2021) follows:

iOS 14.5.1 was a pretty impressive update on paper until it arrived on iPhones and iPads across the globe.

After updating the units, the new update that was expected to bring more optimizations and stability brought bugs instead.

We saw how after updating to iOS 14.5.1, Apple Music started crashing when connected and played via Apple CarPlay.

Well, this isn’t stopping anytime soon as we have another bug to add to the long list. This time, it is Siri that has been affected.

According to the reports, Siri cuts off or doesn’t complete sentences. Here are the reports that have floated recently.

This has been occurring when users are mostly driving and have their iPhones/iPads connected to the car, making it really a painful task to send text messages or read incoming texts aloud.

It impacts messages, maps, or anything that has text to speech in CarPlay. Users believe, the issue with Siri only appeared after iOS 14.5.1 update and is irrespective of the device used.

Possible workaround

While rebooting managed to make it work for a few users (1, 2), it does no good to the major chunk. Here’s what a user who had the same issue when connected to Apple CarPlay says.

From what it appears, the new iOS 14.5.1 update has broken Siri and requires a fix from Apple.

But taking into consideration the ignorant behavior from Apple that barely acknowledges issues, users have to fight their own wars till a fix arrives.

A user found a workaround that should help fix the issue with Siri.

Update 1 (May 25)

Another user-shared workaround that appears to help is:

FYI some say iOS 14.6 resolved the issue for them.

The iOS 14.6 update reportedly fixes the Siri cutting off or stopping in the middle of a sentence issue:
