Waze has added support for Apple Music, making it more convenient to stream your favorite songs while en route to your destination without using two apps at once. Here, we’ll show you how to connect Apple Music with Waze on your smartphone.
Waze Adds Support for Apple Music
If you were wondering if an Apple Music subscription is worth it, this might help you decide. Waze has added support for Apple Music on May 24, 2022, which means you can easily access your favorite songs while using the navigation app.
The announcement was made in a Waze blog post, which read:
It also supports some podcast and audiobook apps, including NPR One and Audible.
How to Access Apple Music on Waze
To use the streaming service on Waze, you need to have an active Apple Music subscription and ensure that you have the latest version of Waze installed.
You can access Apple Music before or after setting your destination on Waze. The player is conveniently placed above the map for quick access.
Here’s how to access Apple Music on Waze:
Open the Waze app on your phone. Tap the music icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Select Apple Music. Tap Open Apple Music and allow Waze to connect to Apple Music.
A player, which is similar to the one in the Apple Music app, will launch on Waze. You can skip songs, Go back, and turn shuffle and repeat on or off—just as you would on Apple Music.
To switch to a different playlist or album, tap Show list in the bottom-left corner of the player and choose what you want. You can also select Open Apple Music to go directly to the Apple Music app, but you’ll have to go back to Waze afterward.
To close the player, tap the upward-facing Arrow in the bottom-right corner of the player. Tap the Apple Music icon in the top-right corner to open it again.
Avoid doing this while driving, as it will take your eyes off the road. It’s also worth noting that you can’t ask Siri to perform any tasks while listening to Apple Music on Waze, like playing the next song.
Why You Should Connect Apple Music With Waze
When driving, it’s essential to focus on the road and limit any distractions. Connecting Apple Music with Waze makes that possible as you don’t have to switch between the two apps, which can be dangerous for you and other people on the road.
That’s why using Apple Music on Waze is safe and a quick, more convenient way to start listening to music while navigating as the player seamlessly picks up where you left off on Apple Music.
Make sure to get started using Apple Music playlists so you always have the right playlist before entering your car or launching Waze to save time.
Drive Safely With Waze and Apple Music
Apple Music has everything other music streaming services like Spotify offer, including a Waze integration.
Connecting Apple Music to Waze is just a better way to get directions and have some fun while on the road. But remember that, even with the Waze and Apple Music integration, you should always be careful when driving.
