The contacts app on my iPhone 16, updated, does not allow the association of a son or daughter, only manager, assistant, or spouse. I’m sure that in other iPhones it had plenty more choices. Maybe because of that, Siri can’t remember who my son or daughter are. How can I bring back those options?
iPhone 16, iOS 18
I think I got it: this is because I'm using contacts from my Outlook account, not iPhone. Looking at contacts stored on the iPhone, I do get these options. Looking at Outlook, I can indeed see that it does not allow other kinds of relationships.
Any way you can think around this? Maybe create a contact on the iPhone and link the two together?

I think that should work but you'll need to do the experiment.
Good detective work, by the way.
In iPhone Contacts, when you tap edit to a contact, you can tap Add Related Name and choose the right option for the family relationship. I don't use Outlook contacts, however.
That's what I said is *not* working...
Microsoft would need to add that feature set. Have you talked to the Microsoft/Outlook support team and provide feedback on the issue?
Contacts don’t have an option for son or daughter
