iOS 27 could give Google Cast native integration, like AirPlay, thanks to the EU
iOS 27 may introduce native integration for Google Cast, allowing it to function similarly to AirPlay. This change is reportedly in response to the European Union's Digital Markets Act, which encourages support for third-party streaming solutions. Users will be able to set Google Cast as their default streaming option, enhancing compatibility for households with both Apple and Android devices.
- ▪A report from Bloomberg indicates that iOS 27 could include Google Cast integration.
- ▪Currently, Google Cast can only be used in iOS apps if developers manually implement it.
- ▪The integration aims to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, allowing users to select third-party streaming alternatives.
