Spotify Simplifies Siri Music Requests on iOS 27
Spotify on iOS 27 lets Siri route audio requests automatically, but only on iPhone 15 Pro or newer, outside the EU, with Apple Intelligence enabled.
Summary
Spotify updated its Siri integration on October 13, 2026, allowing iOS 27 users to request audio without adding “on Spotify.” Siri can play a specific track, album, podcast or audiobook, handle broader requests such as workout music, and activate Spotify features including DJ. Voice commands also support personalized recommendations, podcast resumption, library searches and AI assisted Prompted Playlist creation.
Siri learns a user’s preferred music app and automatically routes audio requests to Spotify after consistent use, making hands free commands less dependent on precise wording. The feature is available globally outside the EU, exclusively on iPhone 15 Pro or later with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings.
