Get started
Spotify Option Not Showing On Alexa App

- Select Spotify, then Link account to Alexa.
- Enter your Spotify account details.
These issues include the usual things I've seen people post about in this subreddit before, such as the echo dot not showing up in my devices menu on Spotify or playing one song and then mysteriously stopping. Now it's gotten to the point where I say 'Alexa, play Spotify,' she replies with 'Here is Spotify' and then silence. @Thinker1 What you must remember though is that the Spotify app on the Versa 2 is just an app to control Spotify on your phone, it serves no other purpose. It's not the same as the Deezer app and Pandora, they both allow you to store offline music to your watch. The Spotify app doesn't have this ability. This solution did not work. Exact same symptoms: 'Alexa, Play supertramp from spotify' 'This is supertramp from spotify'. And the Echo device does not show up in the Spotify app on other devices. Try killing off some other apps to see if it gets any faster (if it doesn't, then it's not RAM). My second guess would be that the phone's network connection is slow for some reason - try somewhere where you know you have a good wifi or 4G data signal. The alexa app relies on a good connection to their servers. Hi, Spotify and Gmail are not working properly with Alexa. I enabled both apps in Alexa, but when I ask Alexa to use any of these apps the device says it is not connected. Here is my info: Spotify version: 8.5.40.195; Alexa app version: 2.2.307833.0; Device model: Huawei P30 lite MAR-LX3A; OS version: EMUI version 9.1.0, Android version 9.
Set Spotify as your default service for music and podcasts so you don’t need to specify “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands to play music:
- Tap the menu in the top-left.
- Tap Settings, then Music & Podcasts.
- Tap Choose default music services.
Note: To set Spotify as your default podcast service, tap Choose default podcast service. - Select Spotify and tap DONE.
Note: You still need to say “on Spotify” at the end of commands to play podcasts.
Now just ask Alexa to play something! E.g. 'Alexa, play Discover Weekly'. Check out the Amazon help site for supported languages.
