Hands-On With iOS 15's SharePlay Feature

Of course the person on the other end has to have a subscription. The idea is you enjoy watching it together, not half the world gets it for free! As for the person trying to shareplay himself! hear you can go blind doing that too much.

I live in Europe and all my historical friends are scattered in different countries. Me I am in France, another in Germany, some others in Italy. Well, my first thought was ‘SharePlay is fantastic, we will watch a film all together as when we were children’. I tried and I discovered that it does not work if the Apple accounts are belong different countries. Even if the content IS available in both countries. This countries division is really boring (like for e.g. Apple Watch LTE that does not work in roaming…me I bought it for doing sport and regularity in my bicycle training I cross national border), maybe American people don’t understand very well de problem because they live in a so big contry…in fact an entire continent, and maybe crossing the border is less common, but European countries are smaller…by driving few hours you can cross two or three countries! It is common also to live in a country but to work in another one, all we use the same money, the roaming is for free in all European countries…so in many point of view is similar to USA states…but in spite of everything, no cross European calls with Apple Watch, no SharePlay with friends…

I think this is so interesting that this is presented as new tech. When I had my first MBP in 2008 - screen share was an option in ichat. I used it then and I am glad that Apple brought this back and to their other devices.

Is anybody else having issues with Apple Music playing in SharePlay? It’s constantly loading and never plays. Or it takes FOREVER! I’m not sure if this has been posted or not. But I reset my settings, and I just reset my iPhone and restored from backup and still having the same problem. None of this happened until I updated to 15.1.1 iPhone 13 Pro Max, 1TB if that matters. Any info would be greatly appreciated. (I’ve cross posted this a couple of other times. I’d like to figure out where the problem is).

Same issue. Both on my and my wife's iPhone 12 Pro's as well as our iMacs. Just says Loading.... and then nothing happens. Running latest versions of all software

Have either of you called Apple support? (I guess you’d have to have purchased Apple Care when you purchased your recent 12 Pro & 13 Pro Max)
