You can now ask Siri to recite music, sports and business news -- here's how

• iOS 11.2.5, a new update available today lets you ask Siri to recite the news
• Unlike earlier versions, you can now get sports, music and business news, too.
• Here's how to ask Siri to tell you the news.

 Apple rolled out an update for iPhones and iPads on Tuesday, iOS 11.2.5, which lets

 you ask Siri to play a variety of news content.

 It builds on a feature introduced in the last update, iOS 11.2.2, which let you ask Siri

 to recite the news but was limited to content from select sources. Now you can ask it

 to play music, sports and business news, too.

 Here's how.

1.First, make sure you're updated to iOS 11.2.5.

2.Next, ask Siri to play the news.

Simply say "Siri, play new news," and it will default to playing news from

 NPR in the United States, but you can say "switch to The Washington 

Post," "switch to Fox news" or "switch to CNN," too. The feature is

 currently only supported in the U.S., UK and Australia.

Now ask Siri to play sports, business or music news

You can switch it up, too, by saying "Siri, play me sports news," or "

Siri, play me music news," and it will pull from ESPN and Apple Music,

 respectively. It also defaults to CNBC if you ask for business news. 

It'll automatically play the latest podcast from the Apple's podcast application.

Coming soon to HomePod

The feature is almost certainly one that was developed for Apple's smart HomePod

 speaker, so expect it to appear there when the device launches early next month.
