There are a few things to check, before you can use SharePlay:

...

  • The host must have an iPhone with iOS 18 or later and be an Apple Music subscriber.
  • Participants must have an iPhone with iOS 18 or later, but don’t need to have an Apple Music subscription.
  • Everyone must have an internet connection and Bluetooth turned on.
  • Everyone must allow their contacts to discover them when playing music to a speaker—go to Settings  > Apps > Music, then turn on Discoverable by Nearby Contacts if it isn’t on already.
