Apple’s SharePlay makes it easy to watch videos with friends via FaceTime, and the list of iPhone apps that support the feature is growing.
Any iPhone that’s compatible with iOS 15 includes Apple’s SharePlay feature that lets you enjoy videos, music, and more with friends and family through a FaceTime call. Understandably, Apple’s built-in apps work well with SharePlay, but many more have joined the list making it easy to socialize with other Apple users online, even when separated by distance.
FaceTime has always been one of the iPhone’s most standout features, delivering some of the best quality video calling over Wi-Fi available, when it launched in 2010. As usual, Apple wasn’t. the first to market live video calling, but the tech giant quickly rose to number one. As technology progressed, FaceTime gained the ability to operate over a cellular network and new features were added. As a result, FaceTiming has become a common term and has contributed to the booming success of the iPhone in the United States.

Apple First announced SharePlay at its Global Developer Conference in June 2021 and planned to release it with iOS 15 in September. Unfortunately, SharePlay and some other new iPhone features have been delayed. The ability to share a video with friends during a FaceTime call finally arrived in late October, with only a few streaming services available beyond Apple’s own offerings. An update in November mentioned a few more, but the rollout has been a bit slow so far. That’s why a continuously updated list can come in handy for those who want to use SharePlay with their favorite streaming media service.
