Here's What Spotify Looks Like on Apple's HomeView
Apple's new HomeView smart home hub lacks an App Store, but it can still run some third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay.
HomeView can automatically mirror CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a nearby, paired iPhone, with no modifications to the app required.
In a post shared on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith demonstrated what Spotify looks like on a virtualized HomeView. You may need to hover your mouse or tap and hold on the GIF in the post in order for it to be animated.

- Alarms
- Calendar
- FaceTime
- Find My
- Home
- Intercom
- Messages
- Music
- Podcasts
- Reminders
- Safari
- Settings
- Timers
- Weather

CarPlay-enabled apps from iPhone available on HomeView:

- Apple News
- Apple TV
- Audiobooks
- "Supported third-party audio and video apps" like Spotify
HomeView is available to pre-order now and launches Friday, November 13.
