I’m curious, does anybody use (or have ever used) SharePlay?
When it was announced a couple of years back, I was like “This is Apple’s initiative to bring shared media consumption to their AR headset when it arrives!”. But it doesn’t seem to have gone that way? I don’t think I’ve seen much adoption of it …
I can’t use it personally since it requires FaceTime (at least for video, I think?) and FaceTime does not work in the UAE
Plus, our other use case, sharing videos while on a plane wouldn’t work either …
I know some of the streaming service apps have SharePlay integration but I don’t believe the ones I use, Netflix and Amazon Prime, do
So I’m curious, is anybody else using SharePlay a lot (or even a little bit)?

@f I'm quite techy and early-adoptery but I would never even dream of using SharePlay. I've never used it and don't want to use it. Like many younger people, I hate phone calls, so why would I want to be on a call with someone while I am trying to enjoy a movie?
@toddunctious Personally, for me the point isn’t the phone call but sharing a movie with somebody. Basically, trying to see if Vision Pro would work for us (my wife and I) in terms of letting us both see the same movie on separate headsets …
Yes, it’s a very niche requirement, but each to their own, right?
