Apple Music Adds Chromecast Support on Android, as Battles With Spotify Continue

Apple Music is catching up to Spotify, and rather fast. It is one of the most popular music streaming services and is available on all Apple devices, as well as Android and web browsers. A new update for the Apple Music app is rolling out for Android users which brings some much-appreciated features. The app is receiving Chromecast support allowing users to Cast their music to nearby devices on the same network. There is also support for dark mode, live lyrics, access to live radio stations including TuneIn, Radio.com, and iHeartRadio.


Users need to update to the latest version of Apple Music from the Play Store to get access to the Chromecast feature. To enjoy the new features, users need to have an Android phone or tablet running on Android 5.0 or later, or a Chromebook that supports Android apps. After updating the app, users should see the new cast icon whenever they are near a Chromecast device on the same Wi-Fi network. Apart from Chromecast devices, users will be able to cast using Apple Music to Google Home and Google Assistant-powered speakers.
