Siri can learn your favorite music service on your HomePod... as long as it’s not Spotify.

The new HomePod‌ software update 17.4 lets Siri learn your preferred music service, so you don’t need to manually set it up or always say “on YouTube Music” after every request. It only works with services that support the HomePod, so if you’re a YouTube Music, Deezer, Pandora, TuneIn, or iHeartRadio user, you’re in luck!

It doesn’t work with Spotify, but you can use this workaround to get Siri to play Spotify on the speaker

Apple’s update notes for HomePod software 17.4, “This update enables Siri to learn your preferred media service, so you no longer need to include the name of the media app in your request. This update also includes performance and stability improvements.”
Siri on HomePod just got a little smarter.
