Supported Languages: Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Belarusian, Georgian Siri not recognizing contacts written in your language? Phonetiq is here to help. Phonetiq automatically adds phonetic spellings to your contacts so Siri recognizes names written in non-Latin scripts. Ask to call or message a contact in its original script and it just works. How it works: - Recognition (the main feature): Phonetic spellings let Siri understand your contacts' names in Greek, Cyrillic, and Georgian when you speak them. - Native sorting preserved: your contacts stay sorted in their original language — the phonetic spellings no longer change their order. - Pronunciation (optional, on by default): Phonetiq can also teach Siri how to say each name correctly when it announces a call or reads a message aloud. Don't need it? Turn it off in settings. Key Features: - Automatic phonetic spellings — no manual typing. - Works on every iOS version. - Multilingual: Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Belarusian, and Georgian. - 100% private — everything is processed on your device. No tracking, no data collection, nothing leaves your phone. - Backup options before any change, for peace of mind. - VoiceOver support for people who are blind or have low vision. Perfect for international professionals, multilingual families, and anyone with contacts in more than one language. Your Privacy Matters: Phonetiq processes everything locally. Your contacts never leave your device. Note: after Phonetiq updates your contacts, it can take up to 15 minutes for your device to cache the new information before voice recognition uses it.

No special iOS version required. Your Contacts, Sorted Properly Your contacts are now sorted correctly, in their own alphabet. Teach Siri to Say Names Names are also taught to Siri for correct pronunciation. A new option (on by default) lets you turn this off. Your existing contacts are updated automatically. Everything stays 100% on your device. ### 1.7.2 — 2025-11-26 What's New in Version 1.7.2 Faster Contact Processing Your contacts are now processed significantly faster! We've optimized how the app handles large contact lists, so you'll spend less time waiting and more time using your device. Smoother Performance The app now runs more smoothly with reduced memory usage. Whether you have hundreds or thousands of contacts, Phonetiq handles them efficiently without slowing down your device. Better Accessibility We've improved support for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. The app now adapts better to your accessibility preferences, making it easier to use for everyone. Field Preference Clarity The Field Preference settings now clearly explain each option and the current iOS situation with pronunciation fields. You'll know exactly what each choice does and which one works best right now. Modern Interface Updated navigation and visual refinements throughout the app for a cleaner, more consistent experience. ### 1.7.1 — 2025-11-26 What's New in Version 1.7.1 Enhanced Privacy & Security Your privacy matters! This update includes enhanced privacy protections and full compliance with iOS requirements. Your contact data stays 100% private on your device—no tracking, no data collection, ever. Faster & More Reliable Experience smoother performance when processing large contact lists. We've optimized the app to handle thousands of contacts more efficiently with better error handling and more reliable background processing. Better User Experience - Streamlined interface with automatic voice assistant cache refresh - Improved error messages that actually help you fix issues - Enhanced stability and performance throughout the app - Modern codebase future-proofed for upcoming iOS versions Important: Contact Sorting Note Due to a confirmed iOS bug, Phonetiq currently uses phonetic fields (the only method that works with voice assistants right now). This may affect how contacts are sorted in the Contacts app—they will be sorted by the phonetic spelling rather than the original name. We've reported this to Apple, and once they fix it in a future iOS update, we'll restore the pronunciation field option that doesn't affect sorting. ### 1.6.2 — 2025-06-17 - Streamlined UI: We've made it easier than ever to get started!
