Make Spotify Your Default Music Player on Android
Follow the steps below to learn two different ways to change your default music player to Spotify on Android phones.
Using Google Assistant
The easiest method is to use voice commands with Google Assistant.
Using Assistant Settings
If you’re having trouble changing your default music player using the method above, try the steps below instead. Your Android phone should automatically play music using Spotify whenever you ask Google Assistant to play a song, artist, or album.
Can You Set Spotify as Default on Android?
You can set Spotify as your default music player on Android. However, the process has changed in more recent versions of the mobile operating system. If you want to play songs automatically, you’re going to need to set Spotify as the default music player in Google Assistant, the built-in voice assistant in Android.
Can You Set Spotify as Default on iPhone?
Apple has yet to add an official setting to let you set Spotify as your primary music player. So, technically, you cannot set Spotify as your default music player on your iPhone. However, there is a workaround you can do to teach Siri how to play songs on Spotify instead of using Apple Music.
Why Isn’t Siri Giving Me a List of Apps?
Siri may not bring up the list for you if you’ve already used Spotify with the voice assistant. That’s because changing this setting does not set Spotify as your default music player on iPhone. Instead, it simply teaches Siri you like to listen to music through Spotify. Apple says this is because Siri learns your habits and remembers what apps you prefer to listen to different types of audio within. Apple also hasn’t given you a way to change this option once you’ve interacted with it the first time.
