- Google Home Can Play Apple Music or iTunes
Can Google Home play Apple Music? Does Google Home work with iTunes?
Yes, and you can see how now.
I get Google Home and Apple Music working together and I'm able to change songs and complete a number of control functions with the Google Assistant. It's really not that hard to set up Google Home with Apple Music once you know how, but keep in mind that the functionality isn't as good as Spotify or Google Music on the Google Home. Either way, your iTunes and Google Home will work together at some level and I love that we've been able to do this.
To complete this, you'll need a few things:
1. An iPhone or iPad with Bluetooth enabled and connected to your Google Home
2. The Google Assistant application on your iPhone or iPad
3. A working Apple Music account/subscription
From there, it's a simple matter of pairing the Google Assistant app on your iPhone with Google Home and then utilizing your Google Assistant on the app to voice control Apple Music.
I honestly wasn't sure this could happen, but Google has made it possible through the use of their Google Assistant for iPhone.

Like if it was helpful:)
Dj P thank you so much
Legend. Thank you
Amazing!
Dj P thanks! Very helpful!
Dj P thanks so much
THANK YOU!!! hopefully they make this better in the future. i always felt like my apple music subscription was going to waste and was contemplating switching to spotify or something
I’d still say Spotify is a great solution. Personally, I think I’m going to switch as it works with both Alexa and Google Assistant...but I do like finding ways to make things work for folks!
Automate Your Life I personally find music better because it rlly connects to the ecosystem
I can't see apple music in Google Assistant settings
This might be a country-based issue. What country are you in Rachana?
Might as well just connect via Bluetooth
It's November 2018 and still no support for apple music on assistant

Does not work
Dj P yeah I was able to connect that way, I meant I can't ask Google assistant to play music from apple music
GrimVoice77 go to Apple Music then just play it from there it will broadcast from Bluetooth
Dj P he means to say he wanna say “ hey google play apple music” and it plays
This is ridiculous that we still can’t connect google home directly to Apple Music or cast Apple Music or iTunes from our phones to speaker groups in the house. To do speaker groups it must be a native streaming service like google music, Spotify, or pandora.
Easy steps:
-Say to your google home « pair Bluetooth »
-Go to ;Settings
- ;Bluetooth
- Then click on your google home’s name
- And play your music from your device!
Hope it helped!
Life with Yva thank you I have Apple Music and I want to make sure it works with it
Nothings working,there’s no sound at all
So much easier thank you!!!!
So Much Easier Thanks!!!
Cee Gee you’re welcome!
What I liked about this was the fact that I could still control by voice. I've seen other videos where people show you how to connect on Bluetooth and then you have your iPhone as the control interface. I'd rather use my voice. Thoughts?
Thank you so much!!!! I can finally connect my iTunes account to Google home!!!
So glad it helped! Enjoy :)
I’m curious, do you know if you’re able to tell your Google assistant to play stuff from Apple Music, as of right now? I told my Google home to play Apple Music, and it said that I would have to link my Apple Music account. However, when I go to my music services, I’m not seeing Apple Music still. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Awesome video. I will try it as a workaround, if you are not yet able to play Apple Music directly from the Google home.
Thanks I was trying to figure this out on my own
Happy it's still helping folks!
None of the steps are right
This works great for the google assistant but I don’t see where you enable google home. I asked the assistant to play Beatles and it did. However when I asked it to play it only plays through my phone. Not through the google home.
So you’re almost there Sasha! Just go ahead and ask your GH to enable Bluetooth, then use your iPhone to connect, then it’ll work!
Hi, great video. My point is that doing as you say I am just using Google Home as an ordinary Bluetooth speaker, not an "smart speaker", since the whole "intelligence" will be in Google Assistant running at the smartphone. Is this correct?
Great video thanks! Unfortunately Google Assistant app is not available in my country
Try Bluetooth and Siri!
This is a good step forward if you have an old iPad or other device that has access to Apple Music and you want to leave it open.
Apple will only allow sorry to be the only voice assistant allowed when the screen is not on or the application for another voice assistant is an open directly. It’s a security issue and is also the fact that they want to have Siri dominate voice.
I hope these companies continue to work together more because it will be in everyone’s advantage.
Totally! This starts you for now. Thanks B!
At this point, you might as well use Siri.
Not a bad idea at all!
My only concern there is that Siri can't be used through Google Home. Google Home does still give you some controllability.
Saw it come up but saying Apple Music so glad they did this
Hello! This the most helpful video I've found so far. Does this still work in June 2018?
Also, does this allow for multi-room audio?
Still works for me!
But does not work for multi-room audio. You can try and set a default speaker of a group, but I still have yet to get that to work.
So your music has to be on your phone? I have itunes on my computer and had an ipod until it quit working. Any way to access itunes library on my PC?
Why don't you try uploading your iTunes library to Google Music? It's free and then you can use your library!
Your music doesn't have to be on your phone to play it on Google Home...but for iTunes and this specific video method to work, yes, it does.
Is there any mileage at all in transferring my itunes to Google play? Would it then react to voice commands to play the music? I've done what you suggested so I am getting music and once its playing I can get google to skip and stop no problem. It just cant find the artist or playlist as you described.
I transferred all of my iTunes to Google Music a long time ago. I did so simply so that I'd have copies of my music outside of the Apple system. Just my opinion, but that's enough reason for me to do something like that! Google Music absolutely then plays music from your library.
Now, what I'll say is that there have been a few issues with Google Music when you're not paying for the service, but I've been assured by Google that it's not on purpose. I've also been told that it already has been resolved in the last update (but I haven't checked for myself).
Do u have to manually play music by hand onnur phone. Or can you voice command it to play songs?
You can use Google Assistant on your phone to command songs to start. Not the Google Home. Although basic navigation like next/previous/volume works on Google Home.
thank you!! I just got a mini and was hoping there was a way to do this. works great, I can always use spotify but it's nice to play a lot of music that I already have since i've been in the apple ecosystem for so long.
Glad to hear it worked out for ya! Honestly, this is probably my favourite find to date with the GH!
This is for Apple Music only I believe... what about from an iTunes library?
So you can play your own music through iTunes and Bluetooth, but I haven’t been able to get iTunes library content to work otherwise.
Hi! Thank you! Im a big Apple fan. Will this work for my little boy? He has a google mini and I dont allow his iphone in his room all the time. I followed your directions and set up google assistant on my phone. Hoping this works. I want him to be able to play apple music from his google mini without a device.
I think now you're only going to find this works using Google Assistant and not the Google Home Mini...which means he needs a phone. Sorry! They changed the menu and I haven't been able to update this video. I'd use Bluetooth for him and let him use voice commands to change songs, volume adjust. It won't let you control the playlist, but you can set it on random on his favorites and go from there. Not perfect...at least not any longer.
No problem! Thank yo use much for clarifying. Im hoping apple comes out with an APPLE MINI-HOMEPOD so parents can purchase a more affordable speaker for the kids. I might get another Apple TV on eBay and then he can play Apple Music thru his TV. Guess that's an option as well. :-) Thanks!
You wouldn’t just want to sign up for Google Play Music or Spotify? ;)
Hi, I get the message “ voice actions are not available for that app” when I ask google to play music on Apple Music, any suggestions?
Are you using the assistant on your iPhone? Or GH?
On an iPhone
You're not the only one, but it seems to be specific to a few people: discussions.apple.com/thread/8128742
My suggestions would be the same things you've probably already done. I'd make sure everything's update to the latest version, especially Google Assistant. I did read somewhere that they were struggling with a couple of bugs in the music services side of GA and I wonder if you got caught in that.
Roger...the truth is I probably can't help on this specific issue yet. But if you want to give a few details of your phone, OS, etc., and as I see things I might be able to come back with a few suggestions. Feel free to message me any details you want to share. The other thing that might be important would be if this ever worked for you.
One additional thing I did read. Try pushing the mic bar instead of saying OK google and see if that works.
Hi there I got two google home mini and i m trying to find option to cast music from my iphone liblary on both speakers please can you help ? I can only connect via bluetooth to one speaker
With my method, it’s only possible to connect to one at this point.
However, if you get a dual BT transmitter, you should be able to cast to the BT transmitter and then out to both speakers.
Hi there Many thanks for reply cheers
Can I get google home mini to play from the apple music app on my android phone?
You know, I haven’t tried that! Did these instructions not work for that?
I don't know, actually. I just ordered the google home mini, and I primarily use apple music on android. I saw your video, and I was curious. I'll let you know if it works!
Funny enough, I had no clue my Google Home Mini even had Bluetooth. I've never used Bluetooth on any of my devices before but was wondering how to play from iTunes on my laptop to my Google Home and this worked perfectly! Thanks!!
Glad to help! Enjoy!
Thanks bro you are heaven sent !!
Can’t say anyone’s ever said that, but thanks!
Does this still work? i did all of the step and when i ask google assistant to play a song, it does, it just plays on my phone. i have my phone connected to the Home but it only plays if i control it from my phone.
Whenever i say “hey google play playlist named (playlist name)” or “hey google play (playlist name) it plays a random song named that! I dont want to have to have to use bluetooth becuase i cant do anything else that makes noise on my iphone BUT play music....
You may not have a subscription to the service you're trying to use.
i connected with bluetooth but i cant hear anything, my phone volume is up and also the home volume is up
Yeah so you're now the third person to say this in a week. It may be time to revise this video...
I don't quite get it. When you're saying 'ok Google' are you talking to the app on the phone or the Google Home? If it's the app, don't both respond and get in each other's way??
It is the app, so they could. Honestly, if you’re starting up your Apple Music, mute the GH and use the mic on your phone.
It’s not perfect, but it’s become much closer than a few months ago!
I have an ipod. I've been able to connect it via bluetooth to my google home mini. But i hate the limited commands. I can only ask google to play next song or previous song. I can't make the google home search a song on my ipod via bluetooth to play it. That sucks.
Thank you! You saved me hours of trying to figure this out!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
cool video - again!
Can you check, if there's a way to run a command to the google home mini like "Ok google, start 90.6 on tunein" based on a location? So if I arrive at home, the google home mini should play the radio frequency 60.9. I tried IFTTT, but I didn't find the right applet... Anny suggestions? THANKS!
I just did this. It's no problem at all and you won't need IFTTT. Just go to Browse inside the Google Home application and then scroll down and go into the Music section of browse. You should see the ability to add TuneIn or it will already be in your music services. Either way, go ahead and ask Google to start any radio station by name. :) I tried it with our CBC Radio One here in Canada and it worked perfectly.
Yeah, that works for me, too. But I want to start the music automatically when I arrive at home :)
Oh...Well, now that's a lot tougher. Google Assistant isn't one of the services that accepts triggers from IFTTT or Stringify. I'd actually suggest something simpler like a speaker with a tuner turning on using a smart plug. Seems much easier to trigger on and off, and then you could use GH to control that plug.
Obviously, that's not all the functionality you're looking for (no voice control of speaker volume, etc...). It's just another option for you.
hm, okay. thanks!
Hey Philipp...I did figure something out. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be with a Google Home just yet. It would be with a Sonos Play:1, Play:3, or Play:5. It's totally doable and I'll be putting this up on my channel.
Thankyou for the clear guidance...
Happy that it worked out!
Does your phone have to be on while you say "Hey Google play sico by Post Malone"?
For this to work, yes
Can I do the same if I have a google home mini?
Absolutely!
Thank you!
Ehhhhhhh :)
Can I listen to my downloaded podcast from my iPod touch on my Google hub and mini?
Sure! I would suggest you just use Bluetooth to connect your iPod Touch to your Hub/Mini :)
Thanks for the info, but i still received a "I can't find any music in your local library" response (even though the song i requested is downloaded to my phone). Hopefully google can work the kinks out before apple decides it wants to push its own Siri into a home environment.
Try pairing Bluetooth and then using Siri as your controller ;)
That, or simply control using iTunes/Apple Music app.
In any case, if you use Spotify or you use Google Music, it works extremely well. :)
Is it worth getting a Google home if you have an iphone?
Personally, I think so. I have an iPhone and I find the integration really well done. I also think there’s enough reason to have both because I don’t find Siri all that useful
Apple music still doesn’t come up for me
Can you or a guest play apple music or youtube even to a google home speaker group (i.e., 3 speakers connected that work if you ask google home to play something by voice command?) Bluetooth on iphone seems to see the speakers all separately?
Not just yet Shawn...not a good, reliable way.
@@AutomateYourLife The home group works by casting off in the google play app but no such option on youtube app or apple stuff. Figured they would have a default speaker for bluetooth connection and it would signal the rest of the speaker group to play.
Mad helpful thank you!!!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching :)
Great video, Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Can I still play it through all of my google home speakers at once like I can with google play music? I want to take the leap from google to Apple fully but this is preventing me from going all the way
Hey Tommy,
Go ahead and create a group (I have a Multi room audio video on the channel here) and include all your speakers in it. Then say “play X on Apple Music on Group Name”
It worked for me just now with Google Play Music, but unfortunately I don’t have an Apple Music account at the moment. Should work just fine!
Hi, did anyone test this procedure?
Dont go apple. Go google. Sure apple devices are much more intuitive, but with that comes the restrictions, like not being able to use apple music on google home or like devices. Same goes for apple TV. I've been an apple cult member since the G4, before the touch in 2008. I switched to google within the last year. It's been a hard learning curve, but you can just do so much more with google (and its waaay cheaper and less restrictive).
Just curious, how is yhis any different than just using Siri to do it natively and then using the google Home as a blutooth speaker? Since the Home can’t natively do it that’s basically all you’re doing, you’re just using google Assistant instead.
Not a ton of difference! These days though, the control is even better through GH than it was when I made this.
Good to know, I was wondering if I was missing something haha. As someone who doesn't much care for streaming services in general (I would rather just have the music I own, rather than paying a company so I can play specific songs) would doing something like this make more sense than just adding my Music to a google play library? I haven't tested but as I understand it the Google Home will allow you to play specific songs from your library completely without using your phone. That sounds like best case for my case I would imagine.
For me personally, I have taken my library over to Google Music and, yes, I’d suggest that’s what you could do.
Lots of people love their iTunes and their Google Assistant. That was the point of this video :)
Automate Your Life Yeah, I do love iTunes and still plan on using it for my main source of music management but after picking up a google Home mini on sale it would obviously be nice to have it play music without needing to pay for a subscription service. I’ll test tonight and hopefully GPM works well for me.
Great job
What if I have home groups set up for more than one speaker at a time?
That can't be done unless you have a Bluetooth transmitter that does 2 or more device connections.
There’s not even an option for Apple Music on device even though I have it
Try the Google Assistant application. It helps in many countries.
That was overwhelming ! A long time pending implementation that has succeeded for me taking your instructions ! Can't thank enough :)
I love the fact that this video is helping people with this issue! I think lots of people have it. So glad it helped!
how do you get the room on iPhone bluetooth?
Hi Jeena - Not sure what you mean by the room exactly? As in, multiple devices in a Google Home "room"? That can't be done unfortunately. If you can cast from an app, that works though to select a group.
My google home is still saying voice actions aren’t available for that app when I ask it to play music
Google Home won’t do it still. You have to initially start the process with Google Assistant.
What’s the verdict -Apple Music or pandora ?
Neither. If you own a Google Home and an iPhone, UA-cam Music or Google Music!
Automate Your Life
But what is nice is just talking to google Home and saying play Adele playlist etc and “voila” and you really can’t beat the music library of Apple Music
To each their own! I struggle to find differences between libraries of these services. My wife does prefer Apple Music too, so I hear you.
Dose it work in Canada bc it’s not working for me 😞😞😞
I'm in Canada :) It should work!
Google Assistant isnt available in Ireland. i was emailing a guy who works for Google last night (because i want to buy my daugher Google home for Christmas but she doesnt use Spotify etc only Itunes)he said it could be done via Bluetooth without Assistant but he didnt tell me how-can you help?? Thanks in advanc!
So one little trick is if you're using an iPhone, you can actually switch your region. Get the app and then test things out and then try switching your region back. That's in the iPhone settings.
@@AutomateYourLife Ok thats great advice, Ill try that-thank you so much! I will let you know if it works!
Nice try but still cannot play my Itunes on Google Home
Ahhh too bad! It works for many!
My Apple Music says subscription inactive. How did you get yours to say subscription active?
I didn’t do anything really specific, but I did have my subscription active before I went in to Google Assistant
I’d say make sure you have it active for a bit before you go into the Assistant and follow this video.
just turn on your bluetooth, and tell your google to turn on their bluetooth. you can play your tunes!
This interface is so terrible, luckily I got my mini for sale at work, otherwise I'd be pissed. Can't even play the music I want.
Why can’t you play the music you want?
how about apple music in Android ? can I set Google Home use Apple Music as Music Program ?
I don't have an Android device that can download Apple Music right now, but if you do, I assume this very same setup would work just fine. However, setting Apple Music as the default music service when you're simply speaking to Google Home is not possible. It only shows when connected through a device as is shown in this video.
Not getting that option
Try getting Google Assistant on your phone. That app will likely get you there.
Thank you!!!!!!!
No, thank you for watching! Glad it helped :)
well done buddy
Hey thanks!
Good stuff! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
How do you activate your Apple account? Do you need the paid Apple Music service? Please help
Can’t help you with the Apple account stuff Matthew. At least not yet. In about a month my Apple account lapses and I can try what you’ve said
Automate Your Life thanks
If you use Apple music I would suggest using Alexa.Google and Apple don't like each other.
Google home won’t show up on Bluetooth?
Did you ask it??? Ask it to pair Bluetooth!
Yes I got it fixed! Thank you!! Now if I can only get it to finally be able to make calls from my contacts.
I have a video for that too! Have a look for my Google Home makes phone calls on my page. I sync iPhone contacts there
Google home won’t show in my Bluetooth.
So you’ve asked it to turn on Bluetooth?
I still can not play music from Apple Music on my google home
Sorry Danielle - At this point this is only working for people in some countries.
I can’t hear anything but it says it is connected and playing can anyone help?!
Hey Kayla - Check and make sure the volume is up on your phone after you make the connection. There's a different volume control that is there. Also, check the volume on the speaker too!
Can’t find settings
The interface has changed quite a bit now. Settings is on the first page, then scroll to the bottom of that page and find more settings
I use a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and each time I try to play something on Apple Music via Google Now (the Assistant doesn't work in my country) it says it will do it but then nothing happens. Why?(
Tough to say from here but it’s likely your GH is not enabled for BT...or its already connected to something.
Automate Your Life i don’t have a GH)
It’s not available in my area at all as well as my language is not supported by the Google Assistant. No, the thing is, that each time i try to play some music on AM it tells that it will play it but then an unknown mistake shows up out of nowhere
Unfortunately, I don't think I can help with this one. Sorry! I don't know a lot about Google Now personally.
One thing I will say though is you're writing English just fine. Maybe use Google Assistant in English anyways? I suppose the song titles would be tough....
Automate Your Life i use it in German (my third language) and it doesn’t work either(
I guess I’ll just have to get used to it and do things manually
Sorry! Wish I could help on that one
why the video can't say in the intro, NO, the Google Home can't play music by Apple Music or YES, the Google Home can play music by Apple Music
I dunno, but you’d hope the title would give you a clue. It says “Google Home Can Play Apple Music”.
Doesn’t work any more Apple patched it
What part? It’s working for me...
I don't see apple music as a provider at all. only youtube and spotify
Hey Eduardo, are you on your iPhone when you’re looking?
yes, Iphone 8 plus, so far I just was able to use google home as a Bluetooth speaker, but that is all, I would like to talk to google home device and listen music from my apple music subscription
Go to More Settings -> Your iPhone -> Music
Now, I say that but your app may be different if you’re in another country.
Also, you can only control it the way I show it in this video.
Eduardo Rodriguez ur lucky I'm not getting the Bluetooth to come up
Lmao..This is such a obvious thing todo and I have no idea why I didn’t think of it before. #Fail
Thanks for making this video, been wanting to listen to my podcasts at home that are only available on apple.
Doesn’t work anymore
Totally possible. With the new app...I have to redo many tutorials
Yeah, you're right. The only option now is to use the Google Assistant app. At least until the settings screen changes.
Just connect your IPhone to google home via Bluetooth and play songs in your Apple Music app and you will hear it on google home speakers. No need of this video
People want voice control. Many, for reasons other than just convenience.
Google dose not play iTunes this video is fake
You notice the 1500 thumbs up hey?
Very disappointing this isn’t supported anymore. If I knew this after I watched this video, I never would have bought my Google Home. Especially since Amazon just announced support for Apple Music on the Echo.
It does work in some countries still, but I’m guessing you’re not in one of those.
@Automateyourlife is connects over Bluetooth, but that’s not quite what I was hoping for. I’m in Canada and Google says it’s not supported ☹️ Of course they said they’ll forward my concern to the engineers.
I’m in Canada too. It did work for us...but yeah, sorry Mark. It’s only working on some places nowadays
Automate Your Life So yours is still working? I’m in Alberta and we aren’t so lucky.
Nope, mine is toast as of a few months ago. Different countries are still Ok.
Useless, ppl complain about homepod being limited, so is this.
Yowza. It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
