It had long been an inescapable fact about Apple’s iOS operating system for iPhones that you couldn’t change your default apps away from those made by Apple itself. But only a few months after Apple changed course and allowed users to change the default email or browser apps, it now appears that same choice is coming for music-streaming services.

After Apple recently pushed out the first public beta of iOS 14.5, a Reddit user quickly discovered that the first time they asked Siri to play a song after updating, they were given a prompt to pick which streaming service to use. Subsequent prompts then obeyed that selection.

Other users on Reddit and MacRumors confirmed similar experiences. They also confirmed that it works if you specify the streaming service verbally, for example, by saying, “Hey Siri, play Heroes by David Bowie on Spotify.”
