- iOS 14.5 has a new feature that lets users set their default music app when asking Siri to play a song.
- iPhones currently default to Apple Music unless you specify which third-party app you want to use, but once you download iOS 14.5, you'll see a prompt to pick an app to play music from.
- You can download iOS 14.5 beta 1 from the Apple Beta Software Program right now.
Last week, Apple seeded the first iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 betas to developers and the general public. Some beta releases are more substantial than others, and iOS 14.5 is primed to be the most notable software update that Apple rolls out this year -- at least until iOS 15 arrives this fall. The standout feature of iOS 14.5 is the ability to unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch while wearing a face mask, but that's not all the update has to offer. The first beta also quietly added another feature that Apple fans have been demanding for years.
Days after the beta was released, Redditors discovered that the first time they asked Siri to play a song, a prompt appeared asking them which app they wanted to use. Seemingly every app installed on the user's phone capable of playing audio was included on the list, and once they chose an app, it became the default choice going forward. This seems to be an extension of Apple allowing users to change the default mail and browser apps.
