Siri will only answer questions about music if you've paid for it
The assistant of Apple continues to surprise users. And it is that Siri can be ironic, funny and also disquieting Of course, the latest discovery also indicates that it can act in an interested way depending on which users make these queries. At least as far as music is concerned. Thus, the arrival of the music system through Internet Apple Music has created two versions of this assistant depending on the paying user and the one who does not pay for the music.
This is how they discovered it in the media Business Insider, where they have verified that to be a subscriber or not of the above mentioned Apple Music service may affect your experience with the assistant That is, Siri will answer certain questions and will deny others if you're not paying for Apple Music Something flashy and that would show the interested natureof this tool, perhaps trying to get more users to checkout and purchase a monthly subscription to enjoy music at the letter anywhere, and also from a complete and useful assistant
The tests show, both in English and Spanish , that Siri has information in its possession that it does not want shared with users who do not pay for Apple MusicOf course, we're just talking about information musical An example would be asking Siri about a song famous right now without a paid account on Apple Music The wizard's response would be: Sorry, I can't search playlists of successes. It seems that you do not have a subscription to Apple Music Something that demonstrates the veto of this tool if you have not previously checked out, or if you do not already have one of the test accounts that Apple has given away at the launch of its music service over the Internet.
Therefore, Siri can be somewhat useless in musicalif the user has questions about songs, artists or groups Of course, this wizard is still capable of performing some actions basic such as play music listed in the user's iTunes library, or stored in the terminal's memory But it no longer throws curious data or related information, as it did before the launch of Apple Music A piece of information that users accustomed to consulting their doubts for voice.
In this way, Apple surprises many ( although surely not all) about their commercial policies And the fact is that the introduction of Apple Music has managed to limit the possibilities of its famous assistant. Now it only remains to be seen if this movement manages to help the growth of the music service, or means a ballastfor those users who are not regular subscribers when asking musical questions with the assistant Of course, Siri seems to continue to answer questions about cine and other aspects without keeping information to itself, even taking the user to iTunes to purchase some content.It remains to be seen if this also changes in the future, or if they continue to keep this assistant free and reasonably responsive as it is to date
