My step dad has me as ‘Beelzebub’ in his phone because Siri wouldn’t recognize my name when he spoke it (he sometimes mumbles). I didn’t know and he asked me to fix something on his phone and I found it and said WTF?!? I went into autocorrect and changed ‘ok’ to ‘I’m really sorry I called SpacePolice beelzebub’. I then texted him a series of questions where ‘ok’ would he appropriate and it was glorious. He apparently said OK to other people too. It took him a few days to find the setting to change it back and he wisely did not ask me to help him find it.

That is good work.

I do the same to my husband when I manage to sneak away with his phone…

I’ve changed the name he has for himself on his phone (so what Siri calls him) a few times… Master Baiter was one, Possessor of the Giant Cock was another… I’ve also done the standard immature “yes” to things like “up my butt” or “I love penis”… but other than my folks, I’m generally the only one he texts so it’s never an issue.

I also one time set it so that when he’d type “k” it would autocorrect to the entire first book of the Iliad. That crashed his phone… but was absolutely hilarious when he called me after and was like “REALLY?!”

One time - in all the years we’ve been together - he managed to get “revenge” by changing what “k” autocorrects to for me - “gotcha bitch!”. Jokes on him, now any time he asks me a question I’d normally answer with “k” he gets the answer “gotcha bitch!”… I’m keeping it forever 🤣

Be careful. I've seen people find out that they've been signing their emails with whatever siri calls them, lmao

I don’t know for sure… but I would imagine most smart phones would have that ability. It’s in the same place that you’d input abbreviations that you want the phone to expand (I know “omw” was automatically programmed in mine to expand to “On my way!”, I never set it, since I generally don’t have to tell anyone that LOL).

Enjoy! It’s a fun one for sure! Just avoid using the entire first book of the Iliad unless you’re goal is crashing the phone 🤣

I've always used android, my ex iPhone. Apparently there's a setting for the assistant that will say your chosen name. My comedian son decided to change it to bouncy boobs, or something similar. When she was back in the living with us all he said something like say my name and the ex nearly peed she was laughing so hard.
