How to Make Spotify your Default Music App in iOS 7 (Video)
Personally, I only use Spotify for my music. I happen to switch phones so often and it’s one of the only music apps that works across all the different operating systems. Add to that, it’s social network-like other benefits and you can see why I’m glued to it. Unfortunately though, when using my iPhone, Apple doesn’t want me to be able to use it as my default music app (unlike my Android devices). I have to always default to the built-in music app, which in my case, is completely empty and a waste of an icon on my home screen. Finally, however, my day has come.
DefaultSpot is a free jailbreak tweak that’s only feature is it makes iOS 7 think Spotify is my default music app. No settings to fool with, just install, enable, respring, and viola. If you are also a Spotify addict, like me, here’s how to make Spotify your default music app in iOS 7 aka make life simpler for yourself.
I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad
1. To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our How to Jailbreak iOS 7.0.6 (the latest version at the time of writing this). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.
II. Install DefaultPlay
1. Open Cydia.
2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.
3. Type in DefaultPlay.
4. Tap on DefaultPlay when it shows up.
5. Tap Install at the top right.
6. Tap Restart.
III. Use DefaultPlay
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap on DefaultPlay.
3. Enable it.
4. Tap Respring.
The search for defaultspot does not return any results, is there an specific source this tweak is located at?
That is exactly what I searched for. Make sure that your Cydia is up to date maybe?
Hi,
it is just called “DefaultPlay” now.
Same s**t different name ^^
Thanks @Pauly! Updated the tutorial to reflect the name change.
I really want this for iOS 8, are there any known alternatives?
Not that I know of yet. Seems like we’re just waiting for the developer to update this one. :/
