Spider-Man: Homecoming - 15 Rumours That Were Total BS

2. Miles Morales Is Introduced

The Rumour: Miles Morales makes an appearance in the movie, either as a classmate of Peter's or as an older Spider-Man who serves as a mentor to Peter (and in the latter case played by Donald Glover).

The Truth: Glover in fact ended up playing Aaron Davis aka Prowler in a small but entertaining role, and there's no immediate sign of Morales being in the movie at all, either by name or in terms of another youngster wearing a different Spider-Man suit.

It's possible that a small supporting character, such as the high-schooler played by Abraham Attah, could be outed as Miles in a future movie (even though his credit name is Abraham), but that honestly feels more like wishful thinking than anything.
