use Siri to play music

In the UK, with a nice new iPhone Pro Max…


I used to be able to ask Siri to play a song, but since the new phone, Siri tells “you need to continue in BBC Sounds”.


no music plays. Annoying, as our grand daughter loves choosing songs in the car. The issue’s with the phone settings, as this doesn’t just happen in the car.


Any ideas very welcome!



iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thanks for replying.


I’ve discovered from Apple phone support that Siri needs time to learn my favourite apps. Being very specific has solved my issue.


now I say “hey Siri, play (Led Zeppelin) FROM APPLE MUSIC”. Works no problem now.


Siri will learn what apps I’m using and I should be able to shorten that voice command soon.


will keep you posted
