Those requests appeared to fall mostly on deaf ears until August 2021, when Spotify initially said it had no plans to add it before reversing course a few days later to confirm that “Spotify will support Airplay 2.” Spotify users have been clamoring for it since early 2019. AirPlay 2 made its debut in 2018 and was available to third-party developers from the very beginning. To make matters worse, unlike the HomePod, Apple has never limited third-party support for its AirPlay streaming protocol. However, it’s anybody’s guess when that’s actually going to arrive. While HomePod support doesn’t seem to be on the table, Spotify did commit to supporting AirPlay 2, which could offer a reasonable workaround for iPhone users with HomePods, Apple TVs, or other AirPlay-compatible devices. Even Deezer quickly added HomePod support, yet Spotify doesn’t appear to be even entertaining the idea at this point.
At that point, the ball was clearly in Spotify’s court, yet the company refused to pick it up, much less run with it.
