HomePod is getting support for third party music services with iOS 14 and more

HomePod is getting support for third party music services with iOS 14 and more

This week is WWDC and Apple has announced new version of iOS, watchOS, macOS and tvOS and the HomePod will now have access to third party music streaming services, but the details are fairly limited at the moment as Apple never directly mentioned the upcoming feature. However this could mean that Apple might start providing APIs for the HomePod to allow the likes of Spotify and others to have access to the HomePod.

Currently, the HomePod can play any audio, so long as it can be shared via AirPlay from another Apple device, whereas Apple Music has direct access at the moment.

More details will be known later on.
