Apple Music is now supported by Google Assistant, so you can use it now in the virtual assistant.
You can now use Apple Music within the Google Virtual Assistant
Apple Music is a streaming music service that was born primarily to become an alternative to giants like Spotify within the Cupertino ecosystem. Hence, users of iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc. chose it over iTunes now.
Since Apple and Google are accustomed to not suppot each other’s services, it came as a surprise that Apple Music ended up reaching Android users through an official application. Now the smart speakers of Mountain View have included the ability to give voice commands to play music from Apple Music.
Now available within the wizard
Google Home is a platform that manages through its official application all the services that we can enjoy and that, until now, were focused exclusively on the house itself (YouTube Music and formerly Play Music) and Spotify, so the arrival of Apple Music and allows us to configure by default this platform as the default to search and find the music we like.
How to use Apple Music in Google Assistant?
To do this, you’ll have to go to Google Home settings and tell the wizard that you have an active Apple Music account so, you’ll be able to go to it to play anything. Keep in mind that you can indicate Google Home to find music in two ways: On the one hand, just tell it to play the music without specifying the service, so it will go to the one defined by default, or on the other hand, add Cupertino’s service tag in the voice order.
This way, to listen to any song, playlist, or album we want you only need to say something like:
‘‘Ok Google, play Thriller on Apple Music”
If you have the Apple Music marked as default music service, you can simply say:
“Ok Google, play Thriller”
This update has begun to arrive in the last few hours and it will take a few days to reach all countries and users. Now only lacking thing after Apple Music in Google Assistant is the services of Amazon or Tidal.
