Apple has given a pretty major update to Apple Music for Android. With version 2.2 of the app, users can now control the music streaming service with their voice thanks to integration with Google Now and the Assistant. Now, you can say, “Okay Google, play Beats 1 in Apple Music” and you’ll begin hearing the radio station playing. This is a major step for the app as it begins to integrate closer with the rest of Android.

Additionally, social profiles from iOS 11 have been brought over to Apple Music for Android which allow users to make their listening history and playlists available for their friends to see as a part of a sort of network within the app. Finally, two new App Shortcuts for Apple Music have been added to quickly access Beats 1 and search alongside a new widget which displays recently played music.

Apple Music 2.2 is now rolling out to all Android users over the Play Store.
