One of the new features introduced by iOS 17 was the possibility of using the SharePlay to allow more than one person control playback of music in a car — at least CarPlayit is clear.
Now, with the first beta version of iOS/tvOS 17.4this same possibility is being expanded to two other Apple products: the HomePod it’s at Apple TV. This way, it will be possible for more than one person in a house to take on the role of DJ and control the music playing on these devices at a party, for example.
How to invite people
To share playback control on a HomePod, simply tap the SharePlay icon (in the top right corner of your iPhone’s media center). Then, just scan a QR code that will appear on the screen — whether from an iPhone or an Android cell phone. From there, just start controlling playback with the help of friends.
If the user wanted, they can simply take a screenshot of the QR code and share it with someone else, even if they are far away. You can, of course, revoke permission to control playback at any time.
This new feature works on both the first and second generation HomePods and the HomePod mini, it’s worth noting.
The process on Apple TV is very similar — if you have already installed the first beta of tvOS 17.4, obviously. In this case, the aforementioned QR code can be generated by the Music app’s playback screen.
As iOS 17.4 is still in the beta phase, only people enrolled in Apple’s testing program will receive this new feature. However, if everything goes as planned, the general public is expected to receive the resource in March.
