Hi there! I understand that Siri isn’t selecting songs from your Lyra app on your iPhone with iOS 18.6, is that right? Just to be sure, when you ask Siri to play a song from Lyra, does she respond but not play the song, or does she not recognize the command at all? Also, have you noticed if Siri works with other music apps, like Apple Music, on your device?

This will help me guide you better. Meanwhile, I’ll start with some initial checks tailored to your iPhone and iOS version:

1. Check Lyra App Permissions:
Go to Settings > Lyra and make sure Siri & Search is enabled. This allows Siri to interact with the Lyra app.

2. Update Lyra App:
Ensure your Lyra app is up to date with the latest version, as updates often fix playback and integration issues.

3. Enable Siri for Music Playback:
In Settings > Siri & Search, confirm that “Use with Ask Siri” is enabled for Lyra.

4. Restart Both Siri and Lyra App:
Close Lyra completely (swipe it away from the app switcher) and ask Siri to stop listening (toggle Siri off and on in Settings > Siri & Search), then try your request again.

5. Check Internet Connection:
Siri relies on internet access to process requests, so ensure you have a solid Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

If you’ve tried the above already or if the issue continues, please let me know. We can then explore advanced settings or account checks. For example, sometimes resetting Siri’s recognition data also helps, or checking if the app’s cache is interfering.

Does this sound like a good starting point?

Siri will not select songs from lyra

Thanks for confirming the issue with Siri not selecting songs from the Lyra app on your iPhone running iOS 18.6. Let’s dig a bit deeper to get this sorted out.

Here’s a refined step-by-step approach based on common causes and recent insights:

1. Check App Permissions for Siri:
Go to Settings > Siri & Search > scroll down to Lyra, and make sure Use with Ask Siri is enabled. Also check that Lyra has permission to appear in search and suggestions. Sometimes if these are off, Siri won’t be able to interact properly with the app1.

2. Set Lyra as the Default Music Service for Siri:
Since iOS 14, you can set your default music service for Siri commands. Try saying:
“Hey Siri, set my default music service to Lyra.”
If that doesn't work directly, open the Lyra app and see if it prompts to set it as the default; this can help Siri route your requests correctly9.

3. Update Lyra and iOS:
Although you mentioned iOS 18.6, confirm your Lyra app is updated to the latest version that may have fixed known playback bugs, especially around Siri integration4.

4. Restart and Reauthorize Siri:
Try toggling Siri off and back on in Settings > Siri & Search, then restart your iPhone. This can reset permissions and connections that may have glitched.

5. Use Precise Voice Commands:
Sometimes, Siri needs explicitly phrased commands such as:
“Hey Siri, play [song name] on Lyra.”
to ensure it targets the correct app1.

6. Network Connection:
Verify your internet connection is stable since Siri and Lyra both require it to stream and sync requests.

If after trying these steps Siri still won’t select songs from Lyra, there could be a deeper integration issue with Siri and the app's playback service on your iOS version. It might then be useful to contact Lyra’s support or Apple Support for an account/system level check.

Do you want me to help you go through any of these steps in detail? Or have you already tried some? Let me know how it goes!
