Spotify officially announces “Hey Spotify” in-app voice command
April 12, 2021
While you probably already use either Google Assistant or Bixby (or Siri) to start playing your music or podcasts on your smartphone, Spotify is now officially announcing that they have come up with their own voice assistant that you can use to control the app hands free. “Hey Spotify” is the new phrase you have to say to get the voice-controlled experience that they are launching so that users will be able to “start, navigate, and search for their music and podcasts.”
Spotify shared in a blog post what are the 5 things that you need to know about “Hey Spotify”. Well, if you have it already as they have only started rolling it out. Basically, once your app has been updated to the version that has this, you just go to the Search section and tap the mic icon that should be there. This means you give Spotify permission to record audio or access your mic. Then all you have to is say “Hey Spotify” followed by what you need it to do or play and you should be all set.
