How to play Apple Music on Google Home
Apple Music was once limited to devices within the Apple ecosystem. These days are gone thanks to Apple’s decision to expand its music streaming platform to include the Amazon Echo, as well as the Google Home.
It’s possible to stream Apple Music, regardless of your Google Home’s age or whether you have the newer Google Nest speakers. Today Google Home also works with other music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, and YouTube Music.
If you live in a country that has not yet received the Apple Music update on Google Home speakers you can still connect your smart speaker to your phone or tablet and stream Apple Music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

It’s almost seamless, with a slight delay between the speaker processing your request and playing your tracks. You can also manually control the track once it starts playing with the Google Home App.
Launch the app, then click on the media button to choose whether you want to play, pause or stop, fast-forward, skip a track, or fast forward. In addition, you can adjust the volume or direct the music to play on another Google Home speaker or any Chromecast-enabled device.
