YouTube Music may come to HomePod
YouTube Music customers could quickly have direct streaming and Siri management from their HomePod.
The record of supported providers is about to develop by one if code found by X person @aaronp613 is any indication. It is a small trace, however Aaron discovered a Dwelling glyph and URL for “ytm_connect_with_homepod” within the YouTube Music app, indicating the characteristic is no less than being labored on.
The characteristic is carried out from the app’s settings, not Apple’s. For instance, Pandora’s integration with HomePod needs to be arrange from the app and is not discoverable by the person anyplace else.
As soon as a service like YouTube Music or Pandora is added, it reveals up as a media choice within the Dwelling app below a person’s account settings. From right here, customers can set a service as a default, that means Siri instructions will choose that service as an alternative of Apple Music.
Siri will play audio from non-default sources with the appropriate command. If the default is about to Apple Music, the person can say, “Siri, play my sleep playlist on YouTube Music.” The “on YouTube Music” is not vital if YouTube Music is the default.
