Siri no longer able to play radio stations

Hi all 🙂


A few days ago, it seemed Siri stopped being able to play our favourite national radio stations by saying “Hey Siri, play —-“, eg. Classic FM or Magic Radio.


it now either tries to play some locally stored music (eg. a track called ‘Magic’ instead of the Magic radio station!), or it plays some completely unrelated radio station instead — like some ‘crime and suspense’ radio station instead of ClassicFM!


Any idea what might be going on here? It has affected all our devices (iPhones and HomePod Minis alike), whether they’re on our home WiFi or the mobile network, so it must be something Siri / TuneIn related (TuneIn seems to be the service via which Siri is able to play national radio stations).


Many thanks for your help!


David 🙂

Hello Hogster86,


If your HomePod is not responding properly you'll want to cover the basics. Restart it, make sure it is up to date and reset it.


Update HomePod

Reset HomePod


If Siri is working properly and you have already isolated the issue down to this one specific command, you'd want to contact Apple to report that issue: Get Support


Cheers!
