As if asking Siri to play some music (locally available) and Siri saying “You need to subscribe to Apple Music first” wasn’t annoying enough, today when I asked Siri to play some music, it gave a lengthy reply which I couldn’t hear and played the song. Later when I checked, Siri auto-subscribed me to 7 day free preview of Apple Music voice without any confirmation and played that song from Apple Music. This is so bad!
I know some of us would think that it’s free so doesn’t matter but it would mark my status as already availed free trial. There are sometimes good offers for first time trials and I may no longer have those. I may not want those anyway but I’m really uncomfortable with this situation. And to make matters worse, I can’t even unsubscribe. There are no options for that on the subscription page! This is like the U2 free album fiasco all over again!
Why can’t Apple fix Siri to prioritize playing local songs first? It would also solve another annoyance where Siri won’t play local music when not connected to the internet! Doesn’t make any sense as Siri performs basic tasks on-device now!
And while we are on Siri improvements, why not combine Siri response volume to the system volume? Even when my system volume is loud, I can’t hear Siri from a distance if I forgot to increase Siri volume, which can only be done when Siri is talking!! Also, can’t ask Siri to increase its own volume!!! Oof!!! 😓
