SharePlay, a feature that allows Apple users to enjoy content together, can be used with Apple Music for collaborative listening and playback.
Apple Music users looking to stream songs with friends and family, look no further share play, a feature that facilitates content sharing across various services. SharePlay was first introduced with iOS 15 and was initially limited to use with FaceTime. People could see simultaneous streams during FaceTime calls if the application supported his SharePlay and all users had a valid subscription or access to the content. With iOS 16, SharePlay now supports iMessage, allowing users to sync and enjoy content without having to live his FaceTime call.
To start listening to Apple Music with your friends using SharePlay, you must first meet some system and compatibility requirements. Most importantly, the user must have their own subscription to Apple Music to join her SharePlay. One user can’t play the music of her entire FaceTime or iMessage group unless all members are subscribed to Apple Music. Next, make sure each device you use for SharePlay is updated to the latest version of iOS and iPadOS. At the time of writing this is iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, but make sure your specific device is up to date in the Settings app.
