Siri asks iOS users which streaming music app to use
Apple is making it clear that Siri is not setting a default streaming music app so as not to confuse iPhone users who might think that Siri is helping them choose a new default streaming music player although this is not the case. In fact, Apple notes that Siri might ask the user multiple times to make a selection as part of the assistant’s intelligence gathering program. Just because you might use one streaming service to listen to Jazz and another to stream Pop, it doesn’t mean that you are stuck with those preferences. You could, for example, say something like, “Hey Siri, play Pop Music using Pandora.” If you originally chose Apple Music or Spotify to play Pop and then asked for Pandora, the next time you request music from Siri without naming a particular service, you might be asked to select one again.
Apple is expected to release the final version of iOS 14.5 sometime during the spring.
