How do I turn off pandora from being my default music player?

My daughter's phone now plays pandora if she asks to play a song. We need it to go back to using the music on her phone as the default. I know that recently Apple changed it so that Siri will "learn" where you play most of your music. But now she has to specify that it uses Apple Music.

iPhone 8

From a quick search, this is what I found about how to set your default music app on iPhone and iPad


  1. Ensure your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5
  2. Ask Siri to play "music" or request a specific song, album, or artist
  3. Siri will ask where you'd like to play that music from and a list will appear on-screen
  4. Choose from any of the supported audio apps you have installed, including Spotify
  5. Your audio should start to play from that app and each subsequent request will default to that app


Note: Currently, there is no way to change this again. It is not listed as a setting, and you can't ask Siri to update your "default" player. If you want to play from a different source in the future, be sure to explicitly state in your request which app you'd like to use.
