Those are about as basic of an action as you can get. Every assistant supports them. But as soon as you want to know something like "how many teaspoons in a cup," can Siri still handle it? What about "where is the aurora borealis visible tonight"?

Another issue Siri used to struggle was trying to play specific music on Spotify. Is that better these days?




I asked, it said 48 teaspoons.

I asked to play a song my an artist on Spotify and it did it. Popped up in the Dynamic Island.

Honestly, I didn’t know it could do that!

(It did ask permission to access Spotify data first, but only that first time).
