Quiet Environment

Background noise can affect recognition. Speak in a quieter space for better results.

Full Commands

Use complete phrases like "Log my GLPea dose" rather than just "GLPea log."

Limitations

What Siri Can't Do

• Edit past logs
• Change your protocol
• Log weight or water (dose logging only)
• Add detailed notes

For these actions, use the app directly.

Recognition Issues

If Siri consistently misunderstands:

• Try different phrasing
• Ensure Siri is set to your language
• Report issues: Settings → Siri → Siri & Search → Siri Responses

Troubleshooting

"I can't find that app"

• Verify GLPea is installed
• Check Siri settings for GLPea (enable "Use with Siri")
• Try "Open GLPea" first

Wrong Information

• Ensure your protocol is up to date
• Check that recent doses are logged correctly
• Verify Siri is using the correct app

Commands Not Recognized

• Rephrase the command
• Speak more slowly and clearly
• Check Siri language settings match your speech

"Something went wrong. Please try again." after tapping Turn On

If Siri shows this error during first-time shortcut activation:

1. Open GLPea manually once, then fully close it.
2. Open the Shortcuts app, search for GLPea, and run Log Dose once.
3. Try Siri again with: "Log my medication in GLPea"
4. If it still fails, restart iPhone and retry.

If you use Face ID/Touch ID app lock, iOS may show the lock screen when opening GLPea from Siri. Unlock once, then retry the Siri command.
