Spotify Users on iOS 27 Can Now Ask Siri to Play Music Without Specifying 'on Spotify'
Spotify has introduced a new feature for users of iPhones running iOS 27, allowing them to ask Siri to play music or other content without explicitly stating “on Spotify.” This update makes voice commands more natural and efficient by routing audio requests directly to Spotify if it is the user’s preferred app. The change eliminates an extra step in the command process, enabling hands-free listening with a focus on what users want rather than how they phrase their request. The feature works globally for iPhone 15 Pro or later models outside the EU and requires Apple Intelligence to be enabled through Settings. It supports various types of content including tracks, albums, podcasts, audiobooks, and Spotify-specific features like AI-generated playlists. This integration enhances user experience by leveraging Siri’s ability to recognize preferred apps based on consistent usage patterns. The update aligns with broader trends in voice-controlled media consumption and reflects ongoing efforts between Apple and third-party services to streamline digital interactions.
