Why can't Siri text my friend's father if I have them both in my contacts?

If Siri can text my mother or father or whoever because I have them in my info, why can't she do the same if I ask her to text people related to my friends. Say I ask Siri to text so and so's rather and I have them both in my contacts. Siri says I don't know who his father is even though I put it in their contacts?

Yes I understand that those are my relationships, but doesn't Siri go through my contact info and find that. Why is it do hard to go through someone else's? It's the same number of people involved in each process. This isn't a big issue I have no problem with directly going to that contact I just want to know why Siri can't do that.

  • How can I put two triggers on top of eachother, and have them both work when clicked?

    I'm creating this slideshow, with before and afters of my work. At the bottom right corner, I want a small frame with the before image. The fullscreen slideshow though, has arrow buttons working as triggers to either go back in the slideshow or move onto the next image. I want the other smaller slideshow at the bottom right corner to sync up with the corresponding "Before" images in the fullscreen slideshow. So, my idea was get both of the forward/back arrow buttons from the widgets and put them on top of eachother, assuming it would advance or go back on both of the widgets.  It's not working though, only the top-most trigger works.
    Simplified version without the mumbo-jumbo!:
    I want to put two triggers on top of eachother, but when I do this, only the top-most trigger functions. Any way to get this to work? or creative ways to get around this?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can't have it click on two things at once. You would have to write some javascript to have one button do both actions. This would not be very easy in Muse so I would say this is not somethingthat is supported in Muse.

  • Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    The iPad cannot send traditional text messages (SMS) which are platform independent since they are a carrier service.
    The iPad uses Apple's own messaging service iMessage to send messages. Which means only Apple devices can receive those.
    If you need to message people on other platforms you need a different messaging App liike Skype or Google Hangouts.  Note, that these will not be SMS messages like your phone can send. They'll be internet based messages so the other user will have to be registered with the service you choose to use, and you will have to have him as a contact in that service to be able to send them a message.

  • Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

    Why can't I text certain people without iPhones on my iPod touch how do I text people on a different kind of phone please help!

    Elitegate. The Whatsapp app is only compatible with iPhones. It will not install on any other device.
    However, there are other texting apps like TexpPlus, Viber, Text Free that are compatible with later model iPods.

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • Why can't I text or email photos

    Why can't I text or email photos?  It doesn't indicate that it wasn't sent, but I know they're not being received.  Thanks!

    You need to discuss the problem with your carrier. If the phone indicates it was sent, it's getting an aknowledgement from your carrier that they received it. From that point on, it can only be your carrier, the receiving carrier or the interchange between the two that's the problem.
    Does this happen with everyone you try to text, or just some people? You can set up a free google voice account and try texting to/from that.

  • Why can I only text 10 people with the IPhone 4s

    Why can I only text 10 people at a time with the IPhone 4s?

    Apple has, to the best of my knowledge made a statement about why they have included this limitation. To prevent spamming perhaps? There are group texting apps available in the App Store that my suit your needs.

  • HT204389 Why can't Siri understand me?

    Why can't Siri understand me when I say Kara it thinks I'm saying Carla or car number

    Obviously, Siri could use a little tweaking - IMO - but you have to speak very clearly and make sure that the mic is not impeded in any way.
    it sure doesn't work for me like it does for Samuel L. Jackson, and Martin Scorcese in the TV ads.

  • Why can't siri find me in Haiti when the Map app can?

    I know everyone is asking the same questions but I was just wondering, why can't siri find me outside the US (Haiti) when the map application clearly can and has all the info and restaurants, etc. Also Siri can"t seem to be able to dial 8 digits numbers ( 509-xxxx-xxxx). Anyhow, I just want to know if this is going to be permanent or will there be an update to fix it.
    Thank you.

    Because currently, location based search, using SiRi, only works in the US. More countries to be added this year.
