The streaming service

Among the huge range of streaming services, Apple Music is one of the audience favorites. The virtual jukebox offers good sound quality for a reasonable price. So it’s no wonder that Apple Music can be linked to Google Home devices for a number of years now. And this is a lot easier than you think.
While you can play Apple’s music in optimal quality on iOS and Android devices, it’s a different story with Nest devices. The connection between the two is a bit stiff, so you sacrifice something in audio quality. Still, the link makes listening to music a lot easier. As long as the speaker is connected to your Google Home household, you can play Apple Music without leaving your chair. And that in just a few small steps.
How do you link Google Home to an Apple Music account?
To get started, all you need to do is install the Google Home app on Android or iOS. And, of course, you must have an Apple Music account. Once everything has been arranged, you can start with the simple step-by-step plan.
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap the Settingsā
- Scroll down until you find the category Services see and select Musicā
- Choose between the available services for Apple Music. Note: this only appears if you already have an account.
- Confirm that you want to link an account.
- Sign in using your Apple ID.
- Give Google permission to link.

And now?
If you’ve followed all these steps, Google Home will link itself to your Apple Music account. The application then sets the music platform as the default music provider. This means that Google will play music from Apple Music as soon as you ask Google Assistant. You can also use voice commands to skip and repeat songs. Then say something like “Hey, Google. next issue.’ All in all, Apple’s streaming service works almost flawlessly integrated with Google Home.
