Hi. I'm using a (new) Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), and I've run into an issue.

When I try using some names (such as Tara), the assistant gives internet errors:

(I later tested it, and it works for some names (such as Michael))

The error is more specific when I try to use it after saying 'send a message':

Which is weird, because it otherwise never has any internet issues, but runs into that consistently.

Things I've tried include force stopping (it doesn't actually seem to stop, but it can sometimes seemingly do a soft reboot), clearing cache, uninstalling all updates, and reinstalling them. Nothing thus far has worked.

One exception I found was when making calls. If I say 'make a call', when it asks for the contact, 'Tara' is accepted, but another name (Carla) gave the same error.
