Apple clarified that Siri did not set the default music service in iOS 14.5

Apple has clarified that the Siri feature that requires users to select music services in iOS 14.5 does not actually implement setting the default streaming media application. This feature first appeared in the iOS 14.5 test.

When the user tells Siri to play music, the feature will pop up, and the digital assistant will ask which music streaming service should be used and provide a list of vendors for the user to choose.

But Apple said that Siri did not actually set any music service as the default service for iOS. In fact, Apple pointed out that iOS does not have a default music service setting like a browser or email application.

On the contrary, this function is actually Siri smart at work. The assistant will learn the user’s listening habits over time Continue to improve and change over time.

Apple clarified this point because Siri may ask the user again for the choice of the application, which may cause confusion for users who think they have set an application as the default application. This feature is mainly to help Siri learn which listening apps users tend to use for certain types of content.

Siri will be able to learn that some users listen to music through Spotify, but will still listen to audio programs through Apple Podcasts, and then it will execute commands based on this machine learning.

In addition, application developers can take advantage of Siri’s intelligence by implementing Apple’s API. This can provide digital assistants with “more information about what people listen to and why in their applications.”

When making a content request, there is actually no conflict in the designated music service. For example, even if users choose a third-party service, they can still say “Hey, Siri, play music on Apple Music.”

This feature first appeared in the first iOS 14.5 beta but was removed in the second beta. Now starting with iOS 14.5 beta 3 released on March 2, it is back.
