How to stop SharePlay from appearing on iPhone Lock Screen?

iOS 18,5


from locked screen I have the option to join shareplay


i have tried to disable it, from settings, notifications and everywhere I find it - but the option remains on the locked screen to join it.


i do not want to join this, and certainly do not want it on my Lock Screen.


how can I stop this?

You may have someone nearby attempting to SharPlay or AirPlay with you.


Settings → FaceTime → SharePlay

Turn off SharePlay per app (e.g., Music, TV, etc.) or toggle SharePlay off entirely.


Important: Disabling SharePlay here does not always remove the Lock Screen prompt if you’re near someone sharing via AirPlay/SharePlay. iOS may still detect media activity and show “Join” prompts.
