One of the big new features of iOS 14 is Home Screenwidgets, which provide information from apps at a glance. The widgets can be pinned to the Home Screen in various spots and sizes, allowing for many different layouts.

Many third-party apps have released widgets, and now evidence that Spotify is developing its own official widget has appeared in a TestFlight beta.
- Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6. My Question or Issue. When I am using Spotify Connect to play music on a Bose or Sonos, the Now Playing widget in the Mac OS Notification Centre only shows the track time. No album art or song title/album title are shown. I've attached a screenshot showing this. It used to work, but then some version of Spotify killed it.
- Download Silicio 3 for Spotify + iTunes for macOS 10.10 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. All-in-one mini player and today widget that allows you to see and control your music. Silicio brings the album artwork and song information right to your desktop.
This is the same app except on iOS in this picture. The icon is the same on Mac except it's spherical and not square. Or maybe this widget: I would just download this widget straight from the apple site to your macOS Sierra computer. Here is the link to that widget: Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - Wireless Grapher.

The widget is currently available in small and medium sizes, with the former designed to display the artwork of the last played artist, song, or album, while the latter size shows four of the same content elements.
Unfortunately there are no play, pause, or next song buttons, since Apple only allows widgets to present read-only information, with interactive elements such as scrolling elements or switches not allowed, presumably due to battery life considerations.

Instead, both widgets include the text “Listen to Music and Podcasts,” and tapping the widget opens the Spotify app. Based on user reports on Reddit, the Spotify widgets don’t yet display album artwork, but the fact that they exist at all proves that Spotify is working on them.
Last month, we reported that Spotify is testing dedicated support for direct audio streaming to Apple Watch without being connected to iPhone.
There’s no indication that the appearance of the beta feature is tied to a particular version of watchOS or iOS, but hopefully it won’t be long before the ability to stream Spotify from the wrist will be available to all subscribers.
