But unless Spotify gets native HomePod support sorted in the next 3 months, they will have lost a whole family account and potentially 4 individual premium accounts in the future. I have been a Spotify Premium subscriber for 5 years.
And I gotta say, being able to call up Siri on the homepod minis we have in our kitchen to play music is such a breath of fresh air when compared with having to use airplay on the phone when using Spotify. Let's get this implemented so it's ready for general iOS 14 release this September!Īfter caving in to pressure from my family, I tonight started a 3 month trial of Apple Music. Thank you Spotify and the Spotify community. Please upvote this idea to garner attention for it. Form to request music service integration from Apple:.

Two days earlier, the same representative for Spotify had posted that AirPlay 2 wasn't currently practical, stating: "We've discussed this Idea internally and while we are working on supporting AirPlay 2 in a proper way, we have decided to close it for now. The streaming giant has not specified when we might expect AirPlay 2 support, so for now we will have to wait for those updates.
