How to Play Amazon Music on HomePod with AirPlay/Siri [Solved]

By Adam Gorden Updated on January 9, 2026
I know I can play Amazon Music on my iOS device and blast it to my HomePod via AirPlay. That's nothing new. Same with Spotify, YouTube Music, and just about any other iOS app. But I was looking for a way of playing Amazon Music as a service on the HomePod. Is it possible to link my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription to my Siri account and then play Amazon Music on HomePod via voice commands?

HomePod and HomePod mini are Apple's popular smart speakers, which feature modern design, amazing sound quality, and various functions. More than just a premium speaker, HomePod also works as a smart home hub, making it a top choice for music lovers who care about immersive, Hi-Fi-like audio playback.

Unlucky, there is still no native support to directly play Amazon Music on HomePod. Therefore, to stream Amazon Music services on HomePod, you need extra ways, via AirPlay. Here, in this article, we not only show you how to cast your Amazon Music from iPhone, iPad, Mac, or even Apple TV on HomePod, but also display how to remove Siri limitations to Amazon Music with ViWizard Streaming Audio Recorder. Let's check out now!

Part 1. Can You Play Amazon Music on HomePod/HomePod Mini?

Although HomePod can play songs with amazing sound quality, except Apple Music, there are fewer third-party music streaming services available on HomePod: only Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Radio.com have established a cooperative relationship with the Apple HomePod. This means that you can only select those streaming music providers to be your default music and podcast service on Apple HomePod for playing your liked content. As Apple HomePod doesn't support Bluetooth streaming, so, to play Amazon Music on HomePod, there is only one way: via AirPlay.

Why Siri Can't Natively Play Amazon Music on HomePod

Amazon Music has its own Voice Assistant: Alexa+. Typically, Alexa+ and Siri are competitors. Amazon Music refuses to open the full library access to Siri, so that Siri can only control launching the Amazon Music app and lose the remote control, like playing specific songs. But we also find a way to remove the limits and let Siri control Amazon Music playback on HomePod in Part 5.

Will Amazon Music Integrate with Apple HomePod?

However, Apple has expanded the way third-party apps can interact with HomePod in recent iOS updates; Amazon Music still needs to upgrade its application and adopt Apple's media integration APIs for true HomePod natural support.

Part 2. AirPlay Amazon Music to HomePod from iPhone/iPad

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then you can stream audios from Amazon Music to HomePod over AirPlay. You only need to use the Amazon Music app on your iPhone and then build the connection between iPhone and HomePod for playing songs. Here's how to.

Step 1 Access the "Control Center" by swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen on most iPhone models. For those using iPhone X, XS, XR, and iPhone 11 or newer versions, swipe down from the top right corner of the display.

Step 2 Within the music playback controls, locate and tap the "AirPlay" symbol positioned in the upper right section.

Step 3 A list of available AirPlay devices will be displayed. In the "Speakers & TVs" category, select the HomePod to which you wish to transmit the audio.

Step 4 Launch the Amazon Music application and start playing your desired music; it will now be broadcasted through the chosen HomePod.
