Siri Won't Answer Some Questions If You're Not Subscribed To Apple Music

Posted by timothy on from the check-out-any-time-you-like dept.

AmiMoJo writes: A tweet from Tom Conrad has highlighted an issue with Apple's Siri digital assistant. When asked certain questions about music, Siri refuses to answer unless you subscribe to Apple Music. Instead of falling back to a web search for the information, Siri tells the user that it cannot respond due to the lack of a subscription. Apple Music has been the source of music related data for Siri since it launched, but until now did not require a subscription to answer questions.

  1. Is anyone really surprised by this? by Higaran · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's just apple being apple.

  2. Siri? by should_be_linear · · Score: 1, Informative

    I thought these "assistants" are officially tested to be useless, beyond "Call Mom" commands and carefully prepared sales demos. Anything changed lately?
