[iOS] Airplay 2 Support for iOS

[Chrisbju]

New idea for earlier closed ideas:

Experiencing delay with Spotify when streaming to multiple Airplay 2 devices. Works with Apple Music 

[Ghaaaa]

Also just started an Apple Music trial because this feature & proper HomePod support are still missing. Will see how that works out for me and then decide to move or look for a different service.

Question: WIll Airplay 2 come with additional Covid misinformation or will that be an extra charge?
(I mean in 2029 when this feature finally launches)

Dude, Spotify…. How could it possibly take you this long for AirPlay 2? When is this going to drop?

Was searching the Web for weeks thinking my new speaker was broken.  Was devastated when i just found out its spotify (again). Really annoying that spotify does not support Standard apple functions that every other streaming has. Gonna change to Apple Music

Enough is enough - just canceled my Spotify subscription.

Goodbye and good luck with ignoring customers.

It's really crazy and unacceptable that this still isn't implemented.

WHY the **bleep** is this still not implemented?????, 3 years and 10 months since airplay 2 was launched.

This is just so utterly embarrassing for Spotify. Easily a ten year user going to Apple Music.

I sent another email today.

Hello.

It has been an extremely long time now that Apple has allowed third party providers to work with HomePods.

Is there any updates on this matter? Thousands of votes and replies of users on your forums apparently have not changed your opinion on this at all. We’re paying a very fair price and still can’t have a good experience with your software.

AirPlay 2 is another huge deal breaker. Why is Spotify not working on these features? Where did it go wrong that Spotify absolutely disregards features and requests their users actually prefer?

Many of us have been with Spotify for so long the only reason we’re not switching is because we have all of our playlists and songs on your platform. It’s an extremely disrespectful of Spotify to play on the “gotcha” card.

Can we please get any information regarding this.

Please listen to your users’ requests.

Thank you, best regards Mihael.

Let's see what their response will be.

[WhyDontYouDoIt]

Got the reply back. As usual, nothing useful. I want to use words that will get my messages removed so just imagine I'm using them in the next sentence: they're so ****** horrible and absolutely disregarding of their users' requests.

Absolute ***** because it has been YEARS.

Here is the email:

Hello Mihael,
