Cannot Control what is played through Amazon Echo or Google Speaker using my Apple MUSIC App on iOS devices

I was using Spotify on my Amazon & Google speakers and was able to control what was being played through the app. i.e. i would verbally command the speaker to 'play music' and it would start playing. i would open the app on my iOS device and it would display what was being played on my Amazon/Google speaker. Now I am using Apple Music as my default music service, but ...


When I open my Apple Music App, it does not connect to Google Home or Amazon Echo so I cannot control what is being played, like Spotify does. yes I can open Google App or Amazon App and it displays the song, but I have no control over what playlist I would prefer to play, or song. i can only pause, fast forward or stop. Not very helpful.


So can Apple Music connect to Google or Amazon Speakers and allow me to choose what I play through the app. Otherwise I have to give verbal directions to speaker that never work properly.


Otherwise I will go back to using Spotify App.

No, I've done all that. I just cant control what I hear using the Apple Music App. I can give verbal directions, but sometimes I just want it to play what is 'up next' on my ios app. You can with Spotify, but not AM.
