iOS 12 is out and Siri Shortcuts are hands down a game changer. Siri just got a lot smarter, here we are with shortcuts to help you find lyrics even faster.

Hey Siri… Identify lyrics — and you’ll get the lyrics to what’s playing on the radio. Yes, it’s that easy!

Instead of opening the app just ask Siri, and boom, lyrics are there for you!

New voice commands for Siri

Use this command while listening to music on an external audio source like your car radio or TV
Use this command while listening to music on your device with Spotify or Apple Music
Use this command when you simply want to look up lyrics by title, artist or part of the lyrics

You can easily set a custom command you like for each action, go to the Musixmatch Settings section-> Siri Shortcuts and tap on the “Add to Siri” button, record your voice command and you’ll be ready to go.

Tap on “Add to Siri” and create your custom 🗣️voice command

Tip: Build custom shortcuts like a pro 💪

You can create more complex shortcuts using Apple’s new Shortcuts app linking actions between different apps.

See how we made a custom shortcut with Apple Music and Musixmatch and start making yours.

How to create a custom shortcut with Musixmatch

Give a try to our shortcut to Shuffle play from Apple Music and get the synced lyrics, add it to your Shortcut app.

Siri will also learn how and when you use the Musixmatch app and then predictably prompt shortcuts on your behalf, even before asking.

Update to iOS12 and to the latest version of Musixmatch for iOS to enjoy your new Siri Shortcuts for lyrics.
