Now all of sudden, when I ask Siri to play a podcast it tells me I don't have Apple Podcast loaded but I do. Frustrating and dangerous when driving as I don't want to go back to manually have to play podcasts. Any ideas?
iPhone 14, iOS 18
Hi, I'm delighted to say YES that was the issue. I'd deleted Apple Music (as I don't use it). I reloaded it and hey presto, it worked! The folks on the Apple Helpline helped me solve it. Virtual (double) fist bump with an explosion (like the Cool Kids do).

Yay!!!!!! So pleased! I know its kinda cray-cray isn't it? The way they explained it to me was that Siri grabs something from Apple Music to take our voice commands on Apple Podcast. To me, it was/is so useful when I'm driving as I don't want to be touching my screen monitor in the car looking for my podcast shows and episodes. So the safety feature alone is so beneficial. I'm so pleased I/we/others have it back on! Virtual (running) chest bump! BOOM! That'll sting for a few days. Sorry about that.
I am having this same issue. Somewhere in the bowels of Siri it seems like the target is called Apple Podcasts but the App is called Podcasts so it thinks the App isn't installed. Just a hunch. Hope it's fixed at some point because I like asking Siri to read the news which it is no longer capable of doing.
That worked!!! Thank you. Though silly I need an app I don’t use to be installed!
Why does siri think I don't have Apple Podcasts loaded when I do?
