A shortcut for Apple's Siri Shortcuts that lets you initiate a Spotify search using your voice.
- iOS 12 with Shortcuts app installed
- Spotify app
- You must unlock your iOS device when triggering the shortcut. This is unavoidable.
- The resulting search in the Spotify app will have "+" characters where spaces should be. The Spotify app seems to reject the request when spaces are used. For now at least, the search works as normal.
- The shortcut only initiates a search, and cannot select a result or autoplay a track for you.
To install this shortcut, download the release from your iOS device and choose to open it in the Shortcuts app. This will add the shortcut to your library and make it available for use.
If you have voice control available in your Spotify account, you can use the shortcut created by Reddit user randybruder to open Spotify and trigger the voice assistant: Discusssion on Reddit | Screenshot of workflow
