Waze has finally managed to integrate Apple Music. The new feature comes five years after the popular browsing app did the same with Spotify, meaning Apple Music subscribers can now access all of their favorite content using Waze’s built-in audio player.
Waze Audio Player lets you link to your favorite audio playback service so you can control your music without having to switch apps to switch apps, allowing for safer driving.
Google-owned Waze tweeted a short video explaining how iPhone users can use Apple Music in their browsing app.

“Starting today, Apple Music will integrate seamlessly with Waze, so you can keep an eye on the road while enjoying the trip,” the company said in a blog post announcing the news.
He added: “With a direct connection between apps, you can now access Apple Music content directly from the Waze audio player. Enjoy more than 90 million songs, tens of thousands of selected playlists, Apple Music Radio and more while browsing. We’re excited to join forces with Apple Music to offer Apple Music subscribers their songs while driving with Waze on their iPhone. “
Waze automatically detects supported music apps on your device and displays the audio player icon (a white musical note in a pink circle) on the map. If you can’t see it, make sure you have it turned on by going to My Waze and then Settings. Select Audio player and turn on Show audio player.
In addition to Apple Music and Spotify, Waze compatible music apps also include Amazon Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Pandora, and YouTube Music, among others.
