    Apple clarifies Siri feature that asks users to pick a music app

    Earlier this month, we reported on a new feature discovered in a beta of iOS 14.5 that apparently allowed users to set a default third-party music or podcasting app for Siri voice commands. It wasn’t clear how it worked and it didn’t always ask the user which app they wanted to open the audio with. There was also no menu that allowed you to manually select an app to do so.

    To clarify the function and its purpose, Apple contacted TechCrunch to explain what this feature was and that its purpose was not to define a default audio app for Siri. Apple has confirmed that there is no specific setting in iOS where users can set a default music service like they can with messaging or browsing apps.

<p>Apple explains that this prompt for selecting a music app lets Siri know which apps you’re using to listen to what kind of content.  You might like to use YouTube Music for songs, but you might like to use Google Podcasts for listening to weekly shows.  The same goes for music genres – maybe you’re listening to tech house mixes on YouTube, but you’re listening to Beyonce on Apple Music.</p>
<p>This will allow Siri to understand user preferences based on how you listen to content.  It would also help Siri become more helpful in selecting the right app for the right situation.  According to <i>TechCrunch</i>, this processing is carried out entirely on the device.</p>
<p>Not allowing the user to select a “ default ” music app is a smart move to improve the experience on iOS – and without having to specify the app every time you ask Siri.  The average user doesn’t want to dig through menus to get something to work, so letting Siri do the work is very brand-friendly for Apple.</p>
