How to Install the Spotify Siri Shortcut

Before you can use Siri with Spotify, you must install and create a Siri Shortcut specifically for Spotify. Currently, Siri is unable to interact with Spotify beyond opening the app by request. By using the Siri Shortcuts app, you can easily create a Spotify shortcut.

How to Use Spotify Siri Commands

Once you’re finished installing the Spotify Siri shortcut, you’re ready to use a few basic Siri commands to control your Spotify app.

Install and Use Additional Shortcuts for Spotify

In the Shortcuts library, there are additional Spotify shortcuts, including Play Spotify Album, Play Spotify Track, Search Spotify Playlist, and Search Spotify Artist. To use these shortcuts, simply search for and install them in the same way you installed the first Spotify Siri shortcut.

Search for a Playlist Using the Search Spotify Playlist Shortcut

Search an Artist Using the Search Spotify Artist Shortcut

This shortcut is different than searching for an artist. Instead, this one allows you to search an artist first, without playing an album or a track.
