How to Connect Spotify to Google Home on iPhone and Android

Spotify can be used on a lot of devices using your Google account. You can play your morning playlist on Spotify on your Google Home speaker. You can also watch your favorite podcast on Spotify on your Android TV or Google Nest Hub.

But the best part is that if you have multiple smart home devices, you can play Spotify on any of them using the Google Home app. This post will show how to connect Spotify to Google Home on your Android and iPhone. Ensure you are using the latest version of the Google Home app.

Link Spotify to Google Home

What if you could use voice commands to make Spotify play music on Google Home, Android TV, and the Google Nest Hub? It becomes more convenient to play your favorite tracks without manually navigating any of your linked devices. You’ll need a Google Smart Home speaker, an Android TV, and a Spotify account. You don’t necessarily need a Spotify Premium account to use this functionality. However, do ensure that all your devices are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network. Plus, your devices are using the same Google account.

After you download or update the Google Home app, here’s how to link your Spotify account on your Android or iPhone. The steps remain the same for both Android and iPhone users.

Step 1: Open the Google Home app on your Android or iPhone.

Step 2: Sign in to your Google account, if you haven’t already.

Step 3: Tap the Plus icon at the top-left corner.

Step 4: Scroll down and select Music.

Step 5: Scroll down and tap on the Link icon next to Spotify.

Step 6: Tap on Continue.

Google Home app will redirect you to the Spotify app.

Step 7: Scroll down to the bottom of the Spotify app page and tap on Agree to connect your account.

Step 8: Select Agree and Link.

To set Spotify as the default music provider, ensure that it is selected in the list of Music apps.
