Siri and Voice Control
You can use Siri or Voice Control to control music playback. See and
.
Siri can also help you find music in the iTunes Store. See “Find it with Siri” in
.
Use Siri. Press and hold the Home button. In addition to the commands available through
Voice Control, you can use Siri to do the following:
Play an album, artist, song, playlist, or radio station: Say “play” followed by the name of
the artist, album, song, playlist, or station that you want to play. If Siri doesn’t find what
you asked for, be more specific. For example, say “play the radio station ‘Pure Pop’”
rather than saying “play ‘Pure Pop.’”
Play music in random order: Say “play (artist or album) shuffled.”
Play similar music: While music is playing, say “play more songs like this one” or “create
a radio station based on this song.”
Browse Apple Music: You can play any Apple Music track by title (“play ‘Happy’ by
Pharrell Williams”), by artist (“play Echosmith”), by chart (“play the top song from March
1991”), and change versions (“play the live version of it”).
Add music from Apple Music to your collection (Apple Music membership required): Say,
for example, “add ‘Lifted Up’ by Passion Pit to My Music” or, while playing something,
say “add this to my collection.”
Use Voice Control. Press and hold the Home button. Voice Control only works when Siri is
disabled.
Play or pause music: Say “play music.” To pause, say “pause,” “pause music,” or “stop.”
You can also say “next song” or “previous song.”
Play an album, artist, or playlist: Say “play album,” “play artist,” or “play playlist” followed
by the name of the artist, album, or playlist you wish to play.
