Can't get siri to switch playlists

[Claresudbery]

Whenever I ask siri to play a Spotify playlist, it just plays whatever I last had playing. I've tried shortcuts using urls too, but it ignores the name of the playlist and just keeps playing whatever was playing before.

If I use the exact command in the documentation "hey siri play my VBS playlist on Spotify" it says "I couldn't find VBS in your Spotify library"

Hi there @Claresudbery,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

In this case, there are a few things you can try:

• Check Spotify and your iOS are both up-to-date.
• Log out and back in to Spotify twice in a row to re-sync all the info and then restart your device.
• Go to your device's settings > Siri & Search > find Spotify > make sure all options are toggled on. 
• Restart Siri, by toggling off and then back on the "Listen for 'Hey Siri' setting within the Siri & Search settings.

If none of those make a difference, then we'd recommend performing a clean reinstall of the Spotify app by following these steps. No worries, you won't lose any content, but you might have to re-download your offline music and Podcasts.

Let us know how that goes.
