Siri tries accessing Apple Music instead of library when told to play music

Suddenly (with the last update?) Siri tries accessing Apple Music instead of library when told to play music. For example, I asked it to play a song in my library and the response was that the song doesn’t exist in Apple Music. So, I had to pull that song up manually from my library.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, SaffroniaWinter.

If we understand your post correctly, you're trying to ask Siri to play music that is in your library but not on Apple Music. We’d like to help.


Follow the steps in this article:


Use Siri to play music or podcasts


If the song you're looking for is not available on Apple Music but is downloaded to your iPhone you can say "Hey Siri, play song name from my library."


Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
