  "account": "Spotify users on iPhones with iOS 27 can now ask Siri to play music without first mentioning \"on Spotify\", the streaming service announced on Tuesday. Users no longer need to specify the app when requesting music or other content through Siri. They can simply state what they want to hear, and Spotify will play the requested content, whether it's a specific track, album, podcast, audiobook, or a broader query like \"play workout music\" or \"play my DJ\". Additionally, Siri's voice control can be used to request personalized recommendations, resume podcasts, search their library, or even create a Promoted Playlist using AI. Spotify explains that removing the extra voice command will make hands-free listening feel more natural, as users can focus on what they want to hear rather than how to phrase the request. This feature is made possible as Siri can identify Spotify as the user's preferred music app. If a user consistently uses Spotify, Siri will automatically direct audio requests to that app. This new capability is available globally for iPhone 15 Pro users outside the EU, provided Apple Intelligence is enabled in the device settings.",
