Listening to Music on Spotify With Siri Just Got Even Easier

iPhone users running iOS 27 will no longer have to say “on Spotify” every time they ask Siri to play music through Spotify. According to Spotify, the update makes voice control more convenient and natural.

Users can now simply say what they want to listen to. For example, they can ask it to play a specific song, album, podcast, or audiobook, or simply say, “play workout music.” Siri can also launch Spotify’s DJ feature.

The new capability is not limited to playing music. Users can ask Siri for personalized recommendations, resume unfinished podcasts, search their music libraries, and use artificial intelligence to create a playlist tailored to a specific request. The feature is powered by Siri’s ability to learn the user’s choice of music app. If a user regularly uses Spotify, Siri can automatically direct voice requests to that app. This eliminates the need to say the app’s name separately each time. It could make controlling music by voice much more convenient, especially while driving, exercising, or when the phone is not within reach.

The new feature is available worldwide, but there are certain requirements: an iPhone 15 Pro or newer model is required, and Apple Intelligence must be enabled in settings. The feature is not currently available in European Union countries.
