How to Connect Apple Music to Google Home on iPhone and Android

Android users can use and stream songs from Apple Music. Download the Apple Music app from the Google Play Store and listen to your favorite songs with your Apple ID. You can also play Apple Music on Google Home, Nest Speakers, and other smart home devices connected to your Google account.

To set up your Apple Music account on the Google Home app, follow these steps. This post will guide you through connecting Apple Music to Google Home or Nest Speakers on Android or iPhone.

Link Apple Music to Google Home

To link Apple Music to Google Home, you need an Apple Music subscription and a compatible smart home device like Google Home, Google Nest Speaker, or Android TV. Make sure you use the same Google account on the Google Home app on your iPhone or Android. The steps to connect and cast Apple Music to Google Home are the same for Android and iPhone users.

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

Step 2: Tap the Plus icon at the top-left corner.

Step 3: Scroll down and select Music under Services.

Step 4: Tap the Link icon next to Apple Music.

Step 5: Select Link Account.

Step 6: Tap Continue to proceed.

Step 7: Tap Agree and Continue.

Step 8: Authenticate your Apple ID with your passcode or Face ID. Step 9: Tap Allow.

After that, you will see Apple Music linked to the Google Home app. Keep it selected to make it your default music streaming service. Next, say voice commands like “Ok Google, play Blood Code on Spotify on my Android TV.” Your Google Home will recognize your voice command and complete the action on your Android TV.

You can play music on your Google Home or Nest Speaker using the same commands. The volume control options will be available in the Google Home app.

Unlink Apple Music from Google Home

To unlink your Apple Music account from Google Home, follow these steps using the Google Home app on your iPhone or Android:

Step 1: Open the Google Home app.

Step 2: Tap the Plus icon in the top-left corner.

Step 5: Tap on Unlink below Apple Music.

Step 6: Tap Unlink again to confirm.

Your Apple Music account will be removed from the Google Home app.

Let The Music Play

You can cast Apple Music to your Google Home or other smart home devices using voice commands. This is great for parties, morning routines, or focusing on work to the sound of lo-fi music. However, manually creating playlists can be frustrating. Instead, you can use the Smart Playlist feature in Apple Music to automate song selection based on your preferences.
