iOS 14.5 features the ability to set a default music app via Siri. The feature is very buggy at the moment, and doesn’t feature any parameters to configure via Settings, but it does work.

  4. So I have my Apple Watch on and wanted to try an experiment with unlocking my phone. I pointed my phone at my dogs face and it unlocked. Yeah, I don't know about this feature 😂

  8. Will this work if I go to control center and press play and will it play music from Spotify. Also if I Put in my AirPods and I double tap will it start playing from Spotify or the default music app.

  9. Good job Apple! This is a step in the right direction. This could win my android friends over to Apple. That is one big complaint they have is the rose garden lockdown. They like default apps. One last improvement needs default maps. Would be better to use Google maps. I’d rather see it in the setting menu instead of Siri pop up.

  20. Is this why apple have messed up music original app messed up like iOS 12 the music app now won’t search all my albums or in order anymore when searching plus all the tunes with same name like it used to why is no one talking about this on YouTube ? Just really annoys me when people miss things like this out it’s a issue it used to show every single app if I have loads of volumes of some and in order now it won’t do that no more or bring them all up while searching

  24. Not working for me… 🙁 Am I doing something wrong? I’ve uninstalled Apple Music and she isn’t letting me specify like she is for you…

  25. When you use CarPlay now and ask Siri to play music by a certain artist then iOS now asks you for “permission to access your Spotify account”. I have Apple Music and Spotify but I use Spotify more and for the first time it played the song on Spotify by default. Cool.

  35. I don’t actually think it’s a bug, what’s going on is that, once you ask to play in a different app, Siri understands you have more than one music app in your phone so next time you need to choose which one. From that moment on, it will always play from that app until the moment you ask to play a song from a different music app. Every time you ask for a different app, it needs to make you choose for the following inquiry. It’s smart in a way, it can be annoying for those who use more than one music app.
