As Spotify launched in India with much anticipation, the Google Assistant integration was nowhere to be found. Users flocked to Twitter to complain about the issue, but Google has not released any fix as of yet. If you visit the music services inside Google Assistant, there is still no sign of Spotify. But there is no need to panic. As despite the absence of Spotify in music services, there is a way to add it to Google Assistant. In this article, we are going to share our neat trick which lets you connect your Spotify account to Google Assistant.
