Alphabet's Google Cast May Gain Native Support in Apple's iOS 27

Apple plans to add native support for third-party streaming protocols like Google Cast in iOS 27, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

The move responds to the European Union's Digital Markets Act. This regulation requires tech giants to open their platforms.

Currently, iPhone users can access Google Cast only within specific integrated apps.

The iOS 27 update introduces system-level integration. This allows users to set Google Cast as their default streaming protocol.

The update simplifies casting to non-Apple devices. However, Apple may restrict this feature to users within the European Union.
