Pandora is the first third-party music app to work on Apple's HomePod

When Apple unveiled the HomePod mini last month, the company showed off a long-awaited feature: the ability to use it with third-party music services. And as of now, Pandora is the first third-party music app to work with Apple's existing HomePod as well as the upcoming HomePod mini. An update to Pandora's iOS app is rolling out that lets you add the app the HomePod. If you've updated the Pandora app, you'll find a new item in the settings menu: Connect with HomePod. From there, it just takes a few taps to give Pandora permission to work with the speaker. This means you can ask Siri to do things like "play New Indie Radio on Pandora" and it'll start playing your station directly on the speaker.
