Spotify users on iOS 27 can now ask Siri to play music without having to say ‘on Spotify’
Spotify has updated its integration with Siri on iOS 27, allowing users to play music and podcasts without explicitly stating 'on Spotify.' The feature relies on Siri learning user preferences and is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later models with Apple Intelligence enabled.
Why it matters
This update represents a significant improvement in user experience for third-party app integration within Apple's ecosystem, reducing friction for hands-free voice control.
It’s now easier to use Spotify by talking to Siri on iPhones updated to iOS 27, Spotify said on Tuesday. Users will no longer need to specify “on Spotify” when they’re asking Siri to play music or other content using the streaming service’s apps.
Instead, users can just say whatever it is they want to hear, and Spotify will play the content, whether that’s a specific track, album, podcast, audiobook, or a broader query, like “play workout music,” or a request for one of Spotify’s features, like “play my DJ.”
Siri’s voice control can also be used to do things like request personalized recommendations, resume podcasts, search your library, or even create a Prompted Playlist with AI.
