Recent updates to iOS allow Siri to interact with third-party apps. This includes Spotify, Apple Music’s closest rival. You can now ask Siri to play Spotify songs, playlists, and podcasts using voice commands.
Apple Music is still the default music application, but now users can open a song in Spotify by saying:
Hey Siri, play *song name* in Spotify.
Hey Siri, play *playlist* In Spotify
Hey Siri, play *album* in Spotify
Activating Siri to work with Spotify
When you first ask Siri to use Spotify, it will prompt you for permission to access your data. Say “Yes” or tap the screen.
If you prefer to switch off access or enable the feature manually, go to Settings > Siri & Search, and scroll down through your apps until you see Spotify.
Tap on Spotify and toggle the Use with Ask Siri switch, so it is set to green.
