Siri's Tidal support highlights an Android gap

Users are pointing out that Siri on iOS can play music from Tidal via voice commands, while Google's Gemini assistant cannot do the same on Android. The complaint is that the workaround—building a custom IFTTT applet—is unreasonably complicated for such a basic task. The exchange is sparking debate about whether platform-specific app integrations make one mobile ecosystem better than the other.
Why now: Frustration over the asymmetry between Siri's native Tidal integration and Gemini's lack of one is prompting discussion about voice assistant capabilities on Android versus iOS.
