FULL STORY
======================================================================A new 
line of code has been found in the HeyMelody app that suggests the Spotify 
Tap function could be coming to Oppo and OnePlus earbuds Android Authority 
managed to activate the feature, but it has several setbacks We don't know 
when it could be released, or which OnePlus and Oppo audio accessories will 
be compatible with Spotify Tap 

 OnePlus and Oppo are solid audio brands if youre after a decent pair of 
mid-range earbuds, and now they could be getting a new handy Spotify 
integration, which could be a big convenience upgrade for Android users. 

A new Android Authority teardown of the HeyMelody app highlights that the 
Spotify Tap function, which is supported on most audio devices from Sony, 
Bose, and Jabra, could be coming to OnePlus and Oppo earbuds. For those of 
you who are unaware, HeyMelody is the native app for setting up OnePlus and 
Oppo audio tech, similar to Sonys Sound Connect app. 

But what is Spotify Tap? Its essentially a convenience feature that allows 
you to play music directly from Spotify by double or triple-tapping 
compatible audio accessories such as the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6 
headphones. If youre already an owner of the best headphones and best earbuds 
alike, youll be more than familiar with this function. 

As for Android Authoritys findings, the outlet dove into the HeyMelody app 
v115.8 and found a code related to a possible new integration with OnePlus 
and Oppo earbuds, and even managed to activate the feature. (Image credit:

For starters, the teardown shows two different options (double and triple 
tap) for Spotify music playback in each earbud. The outlet also states that 
you can redo this gesture so that Spotify plays you a recommended song, but 
there were a few setbacks. 

While Android Authority was able to activate Spotify Tap, the outlet noted 
that changes to background settings were required to get the options to show, 
adding that you might only be able to set this feature for one earbud at a 
time, and not both. However, this is likely to change if Spotify Tap is ever 
rolled out to OnePlus and Oppo earbuds, it added. 

As it stands, the teardown doesnt explicitly state when this feature could 
roll out, or which OnePlus and Oppo earbuds will receive the Spotify Tap 
treatment if it does. According to Android Authority, it wouldnt be 
surprising if Spotify Tap is only available to selected upcoming hardware. 

In that case, were taking this lightly and are waiting to see what other 
findings emerge  but well certainly have our ears to the ground in the 
meantime. You might also like Get ready to brag that your Sony WH-1000XM6
