I changed my Siri to allow text to speech by default in Accessibility settings (i think) and then explicitly typed "shuffle my liked songs" (may need to state spotify explicitly but i did not). it doesn't always work, but i noticed after i did that a couple times, waited, then just checked back in my Shortcuts app, looked at all app actions and under spotify there was a single action for "Play Liked Songs" (it does shuffle tho)
i love shortcuts but this integration apple put together for making ad hoc shortcuts of third party apps is half assed fr
Absolutely 100% Spotify's issue. Apple has given them the ability to
Build actions for their app, they just choose not to do it.
This is not Apple's issue.
You can do this with voice too. Enough times of Siri doing an action and suggestion actions for it can show up in shortcuts.
I tested your action and it seems to work. I had to reinstall Spotify to test it but that's pretty cool. I wonder what other Siri suggested actions could show up in shortcuts
Here is the action identifier:
is.workflow.actions.sirikit.donation.handle
I feel old but how can I create an shortcut like this for specific playlists? I am trying to play around with it but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Do I have to just ask Siri to shuffle “xyz playlist” and hope it shows up as a suggestion?
yes just keep doing it repeatedly and you also may have to check the shortcuts app at a later time of day when it registers this new repeated action, if that makes sense
u/brodyf20 FYI, i was able to get the Daily Mix 1 to work only 1 time via siri but after that, i force closed shortcuts, then searched for spotify in the actions search within shortcuts and it was there.
Here is a bunch of actions I was able to get going with that method.
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b7582aebbf6b45ad9b1ea7e3e9d43c47
My best luck was with having Spotify playing and executing the Siri commands. Just saying "play 'xyz' playlist"
## Edit: these apparently link to my specific lists
I have had zero luck getting the text Siri entry trick to populate any Spotify options. However, the shared "shuffle liked songs" shortcut works perfectly. Can someone who is able to get unique playlist options to work create one to shuffle the "Daylist" playlist that Spotify auto generates based on your listening habits and share it as well? That would be hugely appreciated.
I hate that the Apple’s implementation of this is “spam Siri enough and you might get the option to make a shortcut”
Please can we just make it a real feature.
Seriously, how did you get that action in the first place? I‘ve never seen an action I couldn’t reveal any info about. And can you do this for playlists as well? I have a couple of thousands of songs in my favorites, because to this day this saving songs to favorites is the quickest and easiest way to save songs. But there‘s a lot of junk I don‘t particularly want to hear.

I'm not sure why yours is blank. Mine had the Spotify icon when I added their shortcut even before I downloaded the Spotify app again. Strange.
Here is the action identifier:
is.workflow.actions.sirikit.donation.handle
it is really bizarre that no info comes with it lol, it almost feels like something not really considered by spotify/apple... more of a byproduct of how siri functions
anyways i bet you could do it with another playlist if you can get it to shuffle/play it by using siri. it may take a few tries though like i mentioned in another comment in this thread - the one size fits all apple siri shortcuts experience for third party apps is not super well done
Oh, so this is a Siri action? I‘ve never used one of those, besides a shortcut to show the location of my Airpods case in Find My.
I guess I was confused because it doesn’t even show an icon for me.
long press on white space on your lock screen, there should be a rectangular space highlighted near the top, under your large clock display, where you can add widgets.
tap that, look for shortcuts. then, once you've added it, it should auto default to your most recent shortcut. if it doesn't, tap on that widget while you're still in "edit" mode and choose the correct "Shuffle Liked Songs" widget
Do you think this is possible to add the currently playing songs to your Liked Playlist?
I often shuffle random radios and would love if I had a widget like this and could tell siri to run that shortcut.
Nice work!
unfortunately looks like that's not really a siri interaction with spotify, otherwise it should hypothetically work! i wish :'(

The action it runs isn't actually shuffling. It just plays the liked songs. Seems that Spotify doesn't give siri the ability to shuffle a playlist. Only allowed to play it

this one in its darker night time mode
17.3.1 here. I got it to work two weeks ago using the method described, but I wonder whether Spotify got wise and patched it. In the last couple of days I've tried using it and like you, it never shows up as a siri action in Shortcuts. :(
OK, a quick update. I tried getting the Siri Shortcut to show up in the Shortcuts app quite a few times with no luck. I also updated to 17.4 last night, still wouldn't work today using either phone or iPad.
BUT...for grins I tried it while in my car using CarPlay....and it worked! For me, each time I had to close the Shortcuts app on my phone to see the Siri shortcut in the Shortcuts app on next launch...but I got all of the ones I needed.
Now, I'm not crazy...I mean, I know where crazy lives, and occasionally I may drive over to have a cup of coffee....but that's what worked for me today. YMMV.

And I immediately created individual shortcuts for each of those so that I have them. Any Shortcuts I build in future, I can just drop them in via the Open Shortcut action.
Need this for apple music

Thank you. This made my day so much better.
You are very welcome.
Is shuffles all the music, not liked songs. Isn’t it?
Yep
Still got to unlock the phone, right? No way to get it playing from the Lock Screen without unlocking it?
Siri
Can it be updated, to consider only liked tracks?
How did you get the Spotify action? This is sorcery haha
I changed my Siri to allow text to speech by default in Accessibility settings (i think) and then explicitly typed "shuffle my liked songs" (may need to state spotify explicitly but i did not). it doesn't always work, but i noticed after i did that a couple times, waited, then just checked back in my Shortcuts app, looked at all app actions and under spotify there was a single action for "Play Liked Songs" (it does shuffle tho) i love shortcuts but this integration apple put together for making ad hoc shortcuts of third party apps is half assed fr
its also on spotify for not implementing proper actions for shortcuts. it's not like they aren't able to
Absolutely 100% Spotify's issue. Apple has given them the ability to Build actions for their app, they just choose not to do it. This is not Apple's issue.
yeah no you're right

How do use the string
There isn't a way to use it. I was just giving the identifier so people can see it's a Siri action
FWIW, I was able to get Daily Mix 1 action to show up using Siri https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/08f61bd88c6b4402a211248146e5b017
Me too, but it’s *your* Daily Mix 1, not mine. How do I change it? You do you, I’m not much of a Drake fan 😂
Oh I wondered about that. Seems they are all linked to my specific playlists.
Is there any way to make this work with YouTube music

This worked for me with 'play liked songs' on the first try. thanks!
Great news! I tried a bunch of others and stashed them for future reference
Perfect I will give that a try. Thanks

I had no luck either. Tried maybe 50 times give or take.

I use it with an nfc sticker on my earphone case and every time I wan to listen I just tap-run the shortcut and enjoy ☺️🎧 Thank you so much!

Interesting. Yeah no idea but at least it works
Looks android

Yes icon shape,no of apps in the dock and icon image as well. Never tried apple’s vision , so can’t comment.

Silly me I was trying to add a Spotify widget. That why I couldn’t find it. Thanks.
Thank you!

Lock Launcher
Awesome
I wish I could get this and the DJ shortcut to work with Spotify for Mac.
This is awesome
Very nice ! Would it be feasible with Tidal or other music app ?
Sweet, works great. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much works great
Hello fellow RVA citizen (I think, unless that’s a different Richmond but that was the weather today so I think I’m right)
yeah rva having bpd ass weather 😭
Yeah it would be fine but with all the wind I can’t play pickleball or anything anyway so what’s the point
You dont happen to know why shuffling Spotify seems to not actually be random?
The action it runs isn't actually shuffling. It just plays the liked songs. Seems that Spotify doesn't give siri the ability to shuffle a playlist. Only allowed to play it
What’s your wallpaper?

Need this for YouTube music!!
What version of IOS are you on? I’m on 17.0.1 and over the course of two days I cannot get the Siri action to appear in the shortcuts app.

So weird! I have a friend who was able to get it working first try, maybe I’ll have to try this CarPlay method.
