iOS and iPadOS 14 brought many new features that we did not expect. One of them was the possibility of choosing the Web navigator by default of iOS and iPadOS among all the apps compatible with this system. To do this, the developers would have to first enable this function so that later, the user could modify Safari as the default browser and introduce others such as Google Chrome or Firefox. In the iOS 14.5 beta released a week ago it has been discovered that Siri can customize the default music streaming service to play music when we ask. Yet another point at which Apple's flexibility begins to become apparent.
iOS 14.5 allows you to modify the default streaming music service
The first beta of iOS 14.5 shows the biggest update of iOS 14 that we have seen to date. As novelties to highlight, the arrival of the iPhone unlocking through the Apple Watch when we wear a mask or the compatibility of two SIMs with 5G simultaneously is important.
The novelty that has been discovered within the first beta of iOS 14.5 is the possibility to modify the default streaming music service when asking Siri to play songs for us. This function can be customized the first time we ask Siri to play music. A menu will be displayed with all the apps where we can reproduce our request and the choice will stand until we decide to change it.
Users assure that there are dozens of compatible apps: Youtube Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Castro, Deezer, Apple Books, Apple Podcasts, etc. However, it is also being seen that this feature is still in testing since sometimes the Siri menu is displayed again to select the service or after making a new request it is played again by default in Apple Music. But what is clear is that iOS 14.5 could be the beginning of further customizing the way Siri interacts with our streaming music apps.
