It\u2019s no secret that there\u2019s fierce competition between Apple and Spotify<\/u><\/a> for dominance over the music streaming space, but if recent reports are to be believed, the two companies are looking to compromise for the sake of their users.<\/p>\n Using Siri to play music on an Apple device has, thus far, been sorely missing the ability to pull up anything via Spotify \u2013\u00a0an inability intended to encourage more iPhone, iPad and Apple Home devices to use the native Apple Music service instead.<\/p>\n As reported by The Information<\/u><\/a>, however, the two tech companies are in discussions to allow Spotify functionality via the Siri voice assistant, \u201caccording to three people familiar with the discussions\u201d.<\/p>\n Earlier in the year, Spotify filed an official complaint with the European Commission<\/u><\/a> over anti-competitive practices put in place by Apple. This was an extensive allegation and included many examples of behavior that blocked Spotify and other music streaming services from fairly competing with Apple Music.<\/p>\n While there\u2019s no word whether any of these other complaints are being addressed in the reported discussions, the Siri compatibility issue is apparently being looked at in relation to new tools (additions to SiriKit<\/u><\/a>) that Apple is providing to audio app developers in order to integrate with its voice assistant.<\/p>\n\n
