Previously, Apple allowed users to install any browser by default.
Apple’s policy is becoming more liberal: the company gives users more and more freedom to use those applications that they like, and not imposed “from above.” So, in iOS 14, users have the opportunity to install a third-party e-mail client or browser by default, and now the same can be done with an application for playing music: this feature was noticed in the beta version of iOS 14.5.
Apple has done what many iPhone users have been waiting for. Instead of Apple Music, you can install any default music playback application
Many users reported that they could install Spotify instead of Apple Music as the default music and podcast app on their iPhones running iOS 14.5 beta. True, they achieved this in different ways: some – through the voice assistant Siri directly (it is he who offers to install the default music app), others – also through Siri, but after logging into Spotify. It is not yet possible to set the default music application in the system settings, but this will most likely be implemented as the beta version of iOS 14.5 is finalized.
