Can you setup home sharing on an iPhone

I’ve searched for an answer online but wasn’t able to find one. All my devices are logged into my Apple ID but I can’t actually set up home sharing.

iPhone 8, iOS 13

You set up home sharing in iTunes on a computer.

If you don’t have a computer there is no way to home share. Home sharing is used to share content from your iTunes library on your other devices.

You now control Apple’s user-to-user technical support site? Since when?


You started with a question that Demo answered and then you challenged his answer citing things you have looked up. You provided no link here for anyone to look at.


The Apple TV cannot set up it’s own network ID so you cannot use it as an ad hoc network so you can’t mirror to it. What you can do is set up an ad hoc network on your computer and then connect the Apple TV to that network and turn on home sharing.
