Ah, I guess this means they won't be fixing the groove xbox app. 

 

the new groove UWP app was in the "ready to install" list. but it only shows the "coming soon" screen with a button to launch the current one that won't play my music :)

 

Microsoft is rolling out a new update for the Xbox One Preview tonight. Just yesterday, the company released Build 14393.1008 for Xbox One Preview members with a number of bug fixes and today, the company is releasing rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160721-1913 for the Xbox One with more improvements.

Netflix UWP now both installs AND runs.

 

Unfortunately the Groove UWP app still only shows the "coming soon" page when you start it.  But I guess this means that the available third party UWP apps now work. 

Yeah the Groove one is the only one I want to use anyway :D

Just as an update for those who haven't found out yet.

Groove UWP now works as well. and yes, it supports background music.

 

now it's time for Spotify, Apple and Tidal to step up and provide some UWP's instead of their variety of ###### programs. 

I very much doubt you are going to see Apple Music on any console, any time soon.

 

And Spotify released a small update a few weeks ago:

 

“Right now we’re focused on our exclusive partnership with PlayStation, we don’t have any info regarding other consoles,” read the reply.

As for Tidal, it's probably going to be bought up by Apple.

Yeah, I know Apple probably won't. As for Spotify, they like to not say things untill they happen. and if they focus to much on their PS partnership they risk losing customers to Groove that is on all platforms. 

 

Tidal... ah we'll see what happens with them, they where better when they where WIMP anyway. if they allow themselves to be bought out, they die. if they want to survive they need to grow, and to grow they need more market. 

 

At this rate though, I'll be back on Groove though.  as I don't like using multiple services and I need to use groove for the xbox. so far I stream my uploaded one drive music, but I like sharing my playlists on all devices...

I'd love to have Spotify on the Xbox One, since I pay for the service (can't get groove in my country), if they're still locked to PS oh well, just a waiting game then.

I would hope Spotify, outside of their "lack of interest" in making an xbox one app. would move their regular windows app to UWP. since it's far superior to their crappy web wrapper they currently use. And if they do, they get xbox compatibility as part of it.

I agree, the funny thing is they do have a Windows Mobile app, so why not just do a whole new UWP app for desktop and phone and also Xbox One to?   They could be working on it though?  Only time will tell.

Didn't MS make the mobile app ?

Not the newest one, I don't think so.  Maybe the older version that was more metro with it's UI, but the newest one should be from Spotify, it shares the same UI as the Android and iOS versions.  

New preview update rolling out....

 

OS version released: rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160805-1737
Available: 6:00PM PDT 8/8 (1:00 AM GMT 9/8). 

 

Just more polish and bug fixes to the summer update.

    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
