‘Siriously’ and Music playlists

So I have discovered using music to work out can motivate you to do it, I have also discovered a voice Command for Apple Music for anyone who has Apple Music which is something like “hey Siri play ‘workout’ music” have yet to try it but there are loads of voice commands I would love to use for this kinda thing and considering there must be millions upon millions of tracks to play I can imagine, I was wondered what anyone’s thoughts or experience of using it were if any??

I’ve never tried it, I must admit I am a bit wary, every time Siri kicks in when I am on a run she tries calling someone, so I have to scramble to get my phone out and cancel as it is some random number in my phone book that is picked. It happens when I press the headphone controls too quickly it seems to activate her. It has happened so much I turned her off 😀. Good luck if you get to control the feature, I’m sure it will be useful. Rfc x

You can programme Siri short cuts in setting I believe, if your using the Apple ear buds/pods you can get them to take photos or videos with a double click and possibly turn it off too.

Siri has a lot of voice commands. If you have cheated a list just say “hey Siri” play music shuffled or play work out music 🎶 if you have Apple Music ofcourse it is great and saves pressing buttons and just using your voice.

Not what you're looking for?
