According to the latest reports, according to user reports and tests conducted, in Apple iOS 15 and later versions, Siri seems to have lost the ability to evaluate songs played in the Apple Music app.
When listening to songs in the music library on iPhone and iPad, in the past, you could ask Siri to “give the song a five-star or other digital score,” and the virtual voice assistant would do it without hesitation.
The ability to score songs with Siri in the Apple Music app was first introduced in iOS 8. When listeners listen to songs hands-free through CarPlay, exercise with AirPods, or make smart playlists based on ratings, they usually rely on this feature to score songs in their library.
However, reports on Reddit, Apple’s support community and some forums show that this feature is not available in iOS 15 or iOS 15.1, and it is still unavailable in the latest iOS 15.2 official version released in December last year. Siri did not execute the request but responded I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t do this, or something similar.
It is unclear whether this is an intentional change by Apple or an intermittent server-side problem after the release of iOS 15, but it is worth noting that both iOS 15 and iOS 15.2 have made functional changes to Siri, involving Apple Music. The interoperability and the more general system level.
In iOS 15, Apple has modified Siri to process some requests without an Internet connection. It can perform queries and identification faster when opening apps, setting alarms and timers, etc. Then, in iOS 15.2, the company introduced a new Apple Music voice control solution, which relies entirely on Siri for music playback and user interaction.
