Apple has given the HomePod Mini in India a significant boost. The Cupertino giant is now rolling out an update following which you can set JioSaavn and/or Gaana as the default music streaming service on the smart speaker. You will also be able to stream to the HomePod Mini from the apps installed on your iPhone or iPad.

You can now add these two music streaming services to the HomePod Mini using the Home app and use Siri to play music, podcasts and more from Apple Music, JioSaavn and Gaana. This update gives the HomePod Mini a new step up in battles against Amazon’s Alexa powered Echo speakers and also Google Nest smart speakers, which already offer the ability to add default music streaming services on their platforms.

“With Gaana now available on HomePod mini, our users will have a more cohesive experience as they’ll now have seamless access to their personalised playlists and favorite songs no matter where they are in their homes,” says Sandeep Lodha, CEO, Gaana, in a statement.

Globally, the ability to add music streaming services is also available for the Apple HomePod, the HomePod Mini’s elder and larger sibling. In India however, at this time, this feature is only rolling out for the HomePod Mini. The HomePod is not on sale in India, for the time being.

In India, Apple Music subscriptions start at INR 49 per month for the Student plan (that also bundles Apple TV+), INR 99 per month for the Individual Apple Music plan and INR 149 per month for the Apple Music Family plan.

The HomePod Mini is priced at INR 9,900 in India and you may or may not need additional subscriptions for JioSaavn and Gaana, depending on which tier you already are subscribed to at this time.
