Use Siri to play and listen to music on HomePod

To get started, say something like “Hey Siri, play Lana Del Rey”. To add a music service to your HomePod in the Home app, see Add a third-party music service to HomePod.

Try any of the following examples:

• Play something you like: Say “Hey Siri, play some music”. If you like the song, say “Hey Siri, I like this” to help the music service learn what you like. (you can also say “Hey Siri, I don’t like this music”).

• Ask for something specific: Got some music in mind? Just ask. Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play The 1975’s latest album”.

• Play a different version: To play the same song as recorded by a different artist, if one is available, say “Hey Siri, play the other version”.

• Go to the next or previous track: Say “Hey Siri, next song” or “Hey Siri, previous track”.

• Listen by genre, mood or decade: Ask for a specific genre of music, such as Latin jazz, or ask for the vibe you want. For example, say “Hey Siri, play some party music”, or get even more specific with “Hey Siri, play hip-hop from the 1990s”. Or choose a random song with “Hey Siri, play something completely different”.

• Play a broadcast radio station: Say “Hey Siri, play Classic FM”.

• Find a song by its lyrics: If you don’t know the name of a song, you can say something like “Hey Siri, what’s the song that goes ‘I would just fly, fly away’?”

  Note: Lyric search is not available in all languages.

• Listen to Apple Music radio: Explore new music and listen to exclusive interviews on stations created by experts. Say “Hey Siri, play Apple Music 1 radio”, or ask for Apple Music Country or Apple Music Hits.

• Learn about the music: Try saying “Hey Siri, what album is this?” You can also say “Hey Siri, when was this song released?” For bands, you can ask who’s playing a certain instrument. For many popular songs, you can ask about the writer and producer.

When you add a supported music service to your HomePod, you can play music from that app without having to mention the app by name. For example, say “Hey Siri, play Lana Del Rey”. Some music services require a subscription.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, sign in to the supported music service app.

2. In the music service app, go to settings, then add the music service to your HomePod.

3. Go to the Home app , tap , then tap Home Settings.

   Note: If you have more than one home, settings are shown for your current home (based on your location). To edit a different home, tap Homes, then tap the home you want to edit.

4. Tap your user profile under People.

5. Below Connected Media, tap the music service.

If you don’t want to use a music service with HomePod, you can remove it. In the Home app, tap , tap Home Settings, then tap your user profile. Tap the music service, then turn off Use in Home.

You can also change which user account should be used when someone’s voice isn’t recognised. In the Home app on your iPhone or iPad, touch and hold a HomePod, tap , then tap Primary User.
