In this video, I'll show you how to use the SharePlay feature on an iPhone to listen to music with friends via Messages.
Before you begin, make sure you are up to date with the latest version of iOS to use SharePlay. At the moment, the features we will be looking at and the most recent version is iOS 16.
To get started, open an app that supports SharePlay. This includes Apple apps like Apple Music, Apple TV, and Fitness. You can also share with TikTok, Twitch and a few others.
We'll share music we listen to through Apple Music.
Let's say I want someone to listen to this playlist with me. This would also work on any song or album. With the playlist open, tap the three dots at the top right of the page.
From inside this menu you will see SharePlay. Choose this.
Next, add your contacts you want to share with. After that select messages. One thing though is that each person in the conversation must have their own subscription or family plan, purchase or trial of the service you are sharing.
Enter a message, then send the text. Once the person joins, press Start to start playing the music or show.
After that, you can tap the messages icon here to go back to messages and chat, or you can select the Facetime icon to switch to a Facetime call.
When you're in the Messaging app, you can tap the right side of the dynamic island to access the music controls or long-press the main island to display the SharePlay controls.
From there, you can select the SharePlay button for more options or press the x to finish.
And that's how you listen to music with someone using SharePlay in Messages.
