A new feature in the Home app is looking to help make it easier.

ining tch Discover, there’s a new sten tab in the Home app that is dedicated to finding just the right music at just the right time. As describes, the new section “shows you curated lists of ready-to-stream, personalized albums playlists from your favorite music apps, like YouTube, ay Music, Spotify. You’ll also find compatible music audio apps you already have on your phone or tablet, as well as a section to discover new apps to download.”

It’s not all that dissimilar from the discovery tabs on Spotify other music apps, but sten on the Home does offer one big advantage: inclusivity. Since it’s pulling music from various sources, you get a tremendous variety of songs artists to listen to, as well as suggestions for other services you might want to try. (Though Apple Music subscribers are still left out in the cold.)

The update should be live on all phones running the Home app, but if you’re not seeing it, you can side-load the -signed A from A Mirror.
