In 2017, Spotify and Waze teamed up to integrate Spotify directly into the Waze app, enabling a more musical, enjoyable journey in which users could get both the best directions and playlists in the car without having to switch screens. Since then users have been able to navigate with Waze from within Spotify as well as access their Spotify playlists from within Waze and easily change tracks.
How to integrate Spotify and Waze
- From the Waze home screen, tap the music icon in the upper-right-hand corner. (If it disappears, you can navigate to ‘My Waze’, then ‘Settings’, then ‘Audio player’ under ‘Driving preferences’.)
- When you’re prompted to ‘Select an audio app’, tap the green Spotify icon.
- If you are logged into Spotify on your phone, the two should automatically connect. (You’ll be prompted to accept an agreement.)
- See what you’ve been listening to from the top of the Waze navigation screen, or open Spotify to find something new!
You will be able to find all your favourite playlists available for your next journey. Spotify has created a number of driving playlists including Songs to Sing in the Car.
