Apple is removing some of intents used to add Siri support to the application in iOS 15. Apple states that these Intents had very low adoption.

When iOS 15 is released if user asks Siri to perform such action Siri will respond that this is not possible. Also, when building on iOS 15 SDK usage of these intents will trigger compilation warning.
