Default Music to Spotify from Apple Music I have used Apple Music and had a family plan on it for about 2 years, but we just recently switched to Spotify. I am struggling with having it play my Spotify music instead of Apple Music. For example, if I ask Siri to play a certain playlist, it automatically goes to Apple Music, but I want it to go to Spotify. Another example is whenever it connects to my car, it plays old music or playlists from my Apple Music when I want it to play what I last listened to on Spotify. So, my question is how do I change the default music on my phone from Apple Music to Spotify? Thank you, Sam

Music app search always defaults to Apple Music instead of my library When searching for a song or artist now, the default tab searches Apple Music instead of Library. I don’t have Apple Music so results always come back empty until I tab over and search again. I turned off the setting slider to not show Apple Music in the app but with iOS 18 it’s now forcing me to deal with it anyway. En___tification at its finest!

Hello Karmelek_,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about changing your default music application on your device, and we'd like to help. When you use Hey Siri, you can say "Hey Siri, play music on" and say the app you'd like it to play on. Use Siri on all of your Apple Devices

If that doesn't save, after a few times of doing this, we'd recommend leaving feedback about it here: Product Feedback

Regards.
