Use siri to play music on iPhone

You can use Siri to control music playback in the Music app.

Activate Siri, then make your request. You can use Siri in a wide variety of ways:

Play Apple Music:

You can play any song, artist, album, playlist, or station. Say, for example, “Play ‘Till I Collapse’ by Eminem” or “Play Future.” Siri can also play popular songs from different genres or years. Say “Play the top songs from early 2000’s.” You can also play music on AirPlay 2-enabled devices in a specific room. Say something like “Play the latest album by Cage The Elephant in the living room.”

  • Let Apple Music be your personal DJ
  • Say something like “Play my Workout Playlist” or “Play something Gangster.”

  • Add music from Apple Music to your library
  • Say, for example, “Add ‘Still Ballin – How We Do Remix’ by Tupac to my library.” Or while playing something, say “Add this to my library.” (Apple Music subscription required. Not available with Apple Music Voice.)

  • Add a song or album to a playlist
  • While playing a song, say something like “Add this song to my Workout playlist” or “Add this album to my Sunday Morning playlist.”

  • Find out more about the current song
  • Say “What’s playing?”“Who sings this song?”, or “Who is this song by?”

    Tip: You can also identify a song playing on or near iPhone by adding the Music Recognition control to Control Center. Go to Settings > Control Center, then click on the Green Plus Icon next to Music Recognition. With a song playing, open Control Center, then the Weird S in a Grey Circle Icon.

  • Play songs based on their lyrics
  • Say “Play the song with the lyrics” and then say a key phrase from the lyrics.
