Hello premium user here in Sweden here

I just got my new Samsung s10 plus and decided to start trying to use Google assistent with my spotify account.

However i cant get it to start playing music it opens the app and search the artist and/or song name i tell it to play but it doesnt start playing.

I have tried to reinstall and relink both my google home ap and spotify several times but still same problem.

Anyone have a solution?

Google assistant

Hello Daanne,

Thanks for reaching out to the community!

Try this!

Go to Settings > Apps > Spotify > Permissions > microphone

Give Spotify access to microphone permissions and then force close Spotify, then use google assistant to play music.

Let me know if it worked!

Ah! There you go.
You should use the one shown in my screenshot.
You can access that by holding down the home button. When that opens, follow the steps I mentioned earlier and it should work fine !
