How to teach Siri to pronounce names correctly in iOS 15

While you used to be able to verbally coach Siri on how to pronounce a contact's name, that's not the case in iOS 15. Now, you'll need to resort to adding in a phonetic guide directly.

How to teach Siri to say a name phonetically

1. Open Contacts
2. Select the contact you wish to add a phonetic guide for
3. Scroll down, then tap Add Field
4. Tap Phonetic first, middle or last name
5. In the Phonetic Name enter in a phonetic spelling of your contact's chosen name
6. Tap Done

It may take you a little while to figure out how to phonetically spell someone's last name, as Siri doesn't always seem to pronounce certain sounds the same way consistently.
