Matthew HaugheyToday I got a voicemail notification on my iPhone for a message that was left on Monday afternoon. Later, our family group chat lit up with new messages but my daughter appeared as Maybe: Fiona Haughey, despite being on our iCloud Family account for the past 10 years.
☝️if you were wondering how well Apple's pivot to being a service company is going. Did they fire their entire QA wing or something recently?
Jason Lefkowitz@mathowie Who needs QA when you have AI
Franklin Delano Stallone@jalefkowit you are ready to head up engineering at any silicon valley company now

Sean Harding@mathowie The delayed voicemail notification bug is so weird. I've had that intermittently happen for YEARS and I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet. (Ok, sadly, I *can* believe it, but it disappoints me.)
ChancerubbageThat sounds like ‘Siri’ sussing out identification from context clues in the text. Instead of from contacts. Which it wants to do even if a more direct connection is made via contacts APIs
But maybe she got a new phone, new number?
@Chancerubbage nope, nothing changed on her end!
After I updated to ios 26, it seemed it wanted to play this inference based guessing game at least once, even if there was no reason to.
I noticed it in at least two different situations, but can’t rember the context.
Chris Enns@mathowie Every so often my iPhone / Mac does that too. It's almost like they do it so we don't get *too* comfortable with their services.
