EDIT: I updated my Mac to OS X High Sierra (version 10.13.5).Spotify still doesn't work. Device: Macbook Air 11' Mid 2012. I've had Spotify on my laptop for six years, but last week it just didn't want to open anymore. I've tried deleting the entire app from my laptop, re. One thing that I’ve always missed about Spotify when compared to the stock Music app, is the ability to control my tunes via Siri. With the stock Music app, you can use Siri to play any song in your library, or play a music station using iTunes Radio. Just say “Hey, Siri” followed by your command. Note: Be sure to end each command with ‘on Spotify’ so Siri knows which service to access (e.g. “Hey, Siri, play my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify). Siri can play songs, artists, albums, playlists, podcasts, and much more.

Calls and Texts

Siri lets you stay connected without lifting a finger.

Siri can make calls or send texts for you whether you are driving, have your hands full, or are simply on the go.1 It can even announce your messages on your AirPods.2 It also offers proactive suggestions — like texting someone that you’re running late for a meeting — so you can stay in touch effortlessly.3

Siri can announce your incoming messages on your AirPods.

“Message Teri ‘I’ll be there in 30 minutes’ on WhatsApp”

Home

Siri is a smart way to
run your smart home.

Now you can control your smart appliances, check their status, or even do a bunch of things at once — using just your voice. In the Home app, for example, you can create a scene named “I’m home” that opens the garage, unlocks the front door, and turns on the lights.

Siri learns and recognizes family members’ voices for personalized responses related to Messages, Calendar, and more.

Knowledge
on the Go

Siri has answers to all kinds of questions.

Quickly check facts, do calculations, or translate a phrase into another language. It’s as simple as asking. Even when you don’t ask, Siri works behind the scenes like a personal assistant. A great example is the Siri watch face, which serves up events, news, suggestions, and more right when you need them. And the new Siri voice uses advanced neural text‑to‑speech technology to sound incredibly natural, particularly when speaking longer phrases, like when reading the news or answering knowledge questions.

Stay on top of stocks, scores, your schedule, your Activity rings, and more with the Siri watch face.

“What’s the score of the Clippers game vs the Spurs?”

Siri gets you answers even before you finish searching in Safari.

Neural text-to-speech technology helps Siri sound natural, especially for longer phrases.

More Powerful Tasks

Siri can search, send, and book faster than you can.

It’s amazing how quickly Siri can find photos of your kids, locate your parked car, get you a ride, or unearth what you’re looking for from massive numbers of files. And the capabilities of Siri are optimized for each device, so you get the right kind of help, anywhere you are.

“Open the presentation I was working on yesterday”

When Siri recognizes events in apps like Mail or Messages, it suggests adding them to your calendar.

Shortcuts can do multiple things across multiple apps.

Now built into iOS 13 and iPadOS, the Shortcuts app gives you a library of
useful shortcuts to choose from, like
“Heading home.” Just say the words and Siri will text your ETA, start a playlist, and find the fastest route home — all at once. You can also create your own shortcuts to streamline tasks you do all the time.

Siri is always learning how to be even more helpful.

Machine learning is constantly making Siri smarter. And you can personalize Siri to make it even more useful. Choose to have Siri speak one of 21 different languages. Teach Siri who your family members are. And spell out unusual words so Siri can recognize them
in the future.

Siri keeps your information private and secure.

Siri is designed to do as much learning as possible offline, right on your device. Searches and requests are not associated with your identity — so your personal information isn’t gathered to sell to
advertisers or other organizations. And end‑to‑end encryption ensures that data synced between your devices can’t be accessed, even by Apple.

You can activate Siri hands-free just by saying “Hey Siri.”Or simply press a button. Whatever you need, Siri is there to help. On every Apple device.

Siri is indeed getting smarter in iOS 12, just as had been previously rumored. Apple revealed a bunch of new features coming to its voice-based assistant at its WWDC keynote earlier this week, including a new Shortcuts feature that will let iPhone and iPad users initiate app-based actions via voice. Siri’s automation feature is based on Workflow, a startup that was recently acquired by Apple.

A new discovery reveals that Siri will be able to control streaming apps in iOS 12, other than Apple Music, thanks to help from Shortcuts. TechCrunch reports that at a WWDC developer session this week, the company detailed a Play Media intent that’s coming to Siri Shortcuts.

Users will be able to use Siri to play audio and video from third-party apps like Spotify, for example.

Before you get too excited, you should know that Siri’s control over Spotify and other streaming apps won’t offer an experience as rich as Apple Music. Developers will have to integrate support for Shortcuts into their apps, and users will have to build their own Shortcuts recipes. But it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

The following clip shows you how you can create a Siri Shortcut using Workflow to play a favorite playlist on Spotify.

Once set up on iPhone, the Shortcut would work on HomePod too, but you still need the iPhone to make it all possible. It’s not the full Spotify support that users have been clamoring for, and having to set it up yourself with Siri Shortcuts is a bit of a pain. It’s better than nothing, though!
