Apple Music in Now Brief

[ajholka]

I think it would be nice for Apple Music users (like myself) if we were able to get music recommendations in our Now Briefs. I Don't know if this is up to Samsung or Apple or both, but I'm putting it on here anyway.

Samsung has a partnership with Spotify that enables this kind of integration. There is approximately a 0% chance that Apple would ever allow a competitor to integrate their services in this way.

Ugh and that's so annoying. Probably the same exact reason we don't have an app for the Galaxy Watch...I guess I should just be grateful we even have an Android app in the first place lol.

Why doesn't Apple have a app so you can use an Apple Watch with a Samsung Phone?

[CEParsons]

Apple wants you to use their services on their Hardware.

Apple Music and Apple TV+ exist on non-apple devices because they aren't going to say no to taking your money, but generally they reserve the best and most integrated experiences for their own hardware.

If you love Apple Music and want a more integrated experience... Well, you can put two and two together on what your path forward is.

I would encourage you instead to migrate to platform-ambiguous services so you can choose your device based on the merits of the hardware and not what services you feel locked into.

You want Apple features on a Samsung phone?

Naw bruh I just wish we had the choice to set a preferred music app for Now Brief 🫩

Apple would have to pay what Spotify pays for this feature in the Now Bar.
