If you’re finding that Siri is no longer adding items to your grocery list and you’re getting a message that says, "Sorry, you need to continue in the app," it can definitely be frustrating. But don’t worry! We’re here to help you troubleshoot this issue and get your grocery list functioning as it should.

Step 1: Update Your iOS and Apps

First things first, make sure your device’s software and all relevant apps are up-to-date. Here’s how:

Check for iOS Updates:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap General.
- Select Software Update.
- If an update is available, download and install it.
Update the Reminders App:
- Open the App Store.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Scroll down to see pending updates.
- If the Reminders app needs an update, tap Update.

Step 2: Open the Reminders App

Sometimes, Siri needs the app open to add items. Here’s how you can do that:

Open the Reminders App:
- Find the Reminders app on your device and open it.
- Once it’s open, try asking Siri to add an item to your grocery list again.

Step 3: Check Your Siri Settings

Your Siri settings may need a quick adjustment. Here’s how to check:

Go to Settings:
- Tap Siri & Search.
- Ensure that Listen for “Hey Siri” and Press Side Button for Siri are enabled.
Set Language and Voice:
- While in Siri settings, check to see if your language and voice settings are correct. If they appear to be set correctly, you could try changing them and then changing them back.

Step 4: Restart Your Device

If the previous steps didn’t solve the issue, try restarting your device. This can fix minor glitches.

Step 5: Reset All Settings (Last Resort)

If you’re still having trouble, you can reset your settings. Don’t worry, this won’t erase your data, but you will need to adjust your settings afterward.

Go to Settings:
- Tap General.
- Scroll down and select Transfer or Reset iPhone.
- Tap Reset and then select Reset All Settings.
