i ask Siri to play a song in the car using the Musi app and she tells me i need to unlock my iPhone first. it defeats the purpose of hands free technology and its illegal to hold your phone so i have to keep my phone unlocked while driving so i can ask Siri to play music and my Siri settings are on for Siri settings and Musi app settings. anyone know a fix for this inconvenience?
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
Turn the setting off, force restart, re-enable, and try again.
