Leaked screenshots of the Apple Music app for Android has been uploaded online.

Mobile Geeks published the screenshots online of what looks like the Android version of Apple Music. Mac World reports that it has the familiar elements of the iOS version but with some properties from Android such as the "hamburger" drop-down menu in the upper right corner. Apple previously announced that the app will release in Fall 2015 and it is rumored to be launched next month. The company has not announced a release date yet.

According to the Daily Mail, there is a three-month trial available and will cost $9.99 after the trial period is over. A family package is also available at $14.99 and usable up to six people. Since its launch in June this year, Apple Music has garnered 15 million users and counting with 6.5 million paying customers. The outlet adds that Apple Music will rival fellow streaming services such as Spotify, Pandora, Beats Music, Tidal, Deezer and Rdio.

In other news, Apple's virtual assistant Siri will refuse to answer music-related question to non-Apple Music subscribers. In the report by, Business Insider, when Siri was asked about a song in the US, she refused to respond.

"Hey Siri what's the most popular song in the US today," the user asked.

"Sorry, Tom, I can't look up the music charts for you. You don't seem to be subscribed to Apple Music," was Siri's reply.

According to Time, Siri's refusal to respond to music-related queries was first discovered by Tom Conrad, the co-creator of streaming service Pandora. He then tweeted his discovery on Twitter.

Additionally, Conrad also asked Siri to play newest songs or ask about it in the US or any part of the world.

"Play the top song in 1985," Conrad asked.

Siri's reply was similar to the earlier one she gave to Tom.

However, a report from NBC News states that there is a possibility it might be a bug because Siri responded when the question was asked a little differently.

When asked for "the number one song in 2014," Siri did a web search and returned the results to the user.

The outlet reached out to Apple for a comment but received no response so far.

In the third quarter of 2015, Pandora reported the loss of 1.3 million service active users due to Apple Music which was similar to what they have experienced with ITunes Radio in 2013.

"This was obviously a unique quarter in the streaming music business," said Pandora CEO Brian McAndrews last week, via Apple Insider.  "The June 30, launch of Apple Music with its 3-month free trial, as well as significant category spending and trial offers across multiple players, brought increased focus to the broader on-demand category during this period."
