How to Play Apple Music on Google Home/Nest

Will Google Home play Apple Music? Apple’s music streaming service Apple Music unexpectedly appears on the Google Home app in Febrary, 2019. Althoutgh the integrated “link account” button wasn’t functional, many people still guess Apple Music may be soon be available as an option on Google Home devices. Then a Google spokesperson offered a statement regarding the addition of Apple Music to the Google Home app.

"Apple Music is currently only available for Google Assistant users on mobile phones. We have nothing to announce regarding updates to Google Home."

So the fact is that Apple music is still not supported on the Google Home/Nest device . However, we have found 2 accessible ways for you to enjoy Apple Music playlists on Google Home:

Method 1 Play Apple Music with Chromecast

We've been waiting four long years, but Apple Music has finally added Google Chromecast support to its Android app, which means you can now cast Apple Music songs to your Google Home speaker, Android TV, or any other Chromecast-enabled device you might have. You'll need an Android phone or tablet with Android 5.0 or later, or a Chromebook that supports Android apps, as well a a compatible Chromecast device, like the Google Home or the Google Home Mini.

Make sure that your Android device and Chromecast device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open Apple Music and start playback.
Tap the song that's playing at the bottom of your screen to open Now Playing.
Tap the Cast button .
Tap your Chromecast device.

Before you start playing music, you can also tap the Cast button at the top of the screen in the Music app. This is only available on Android devices.
