The big update is Siri controls for Spotify. You'll need to specify that you want to play the track 'with Spotify' or else Siri will (of course) default to playing either from the. Siri can be used to control a whole lot more than just Apple’s devices, apps and services. One such third-party service is the Spotify iOS app, which just recently began testing Siri support for.

Though Apple Music has beaten Spotify in winning more subscribers in the US, there are some loyal Spotify users, who do not want to switch to Apple Music. It was a long-standing demand of Spotify users to integrate Siri with this music streaming app. Apple has listened to your prayers as the tech giant has rolled out Shortcuts app in iOS 12 and users can control Spotify with Siri shortcuts.

For Spotify users, a list of Siri shortcuts to select an album, artist, or song, will be a great help. However, as anybody can expect, Siri’s control over Spotify won’t be as smooth as that of Apple Music.

Best Spotify Siri Shortcuts for iPhone

Play Spotify Album

You can speak a name of an album and the Spotify will play songs from that particular album on your device. When you speak this command, Spotify automatically begins to play the selected album on your iPhone or iPad. In case there is more than one album with the same name, you can speak the year in which the album is released.

Play Spotify Track

Want to play a track of an artist or from an album? You can say ‘Play Spotify (name of the track),’ and the app will play that song for you. Just pronounce the name of artists or albums precisely and enjoy the song. Like the album, Spotify will automatically play the track you have spoken.

Search Spotify Playlist

If you have created some playlists on Spotify, you can search one of those playlists on your iPhone or iPad. Since this is a search query, the music app will not play songs directly. When Spotify presents you with results, you can either speak the track name or select a song by tapping on the screen manually.

Search Spotify Artist

Like a playlist, you can search your favorite artist from the Spotify app. Again, this will not play any song of that artist. Spotify will show you albums or songs created by the artist. From the list, you can either select an album or song composed/sung by that artist.

That’s all friends!
