Perhaps that’s something Apple is fine-tuning right now. However, audio controls in SharePlay seemed to be universal - you can't boost the volume of what you're playing back without also increasing the volume on your FaceTime call, at least in my initial testing. In beta form, SharePlay did a pretty good job of dropping the audio of whatever it is you're watching or listening to so that you can keep your conversation going. When FaceTime arrives, you can also switch to text or audio chats, so the video playback is front and center. I could even resize the video window to make it easier to view Ted Lasso's antics while minimizing the FaceTime window, and then flip around the sizes when I wanted to see my colleagues' reaction. Each one of us could control playback from our various devices.

To that end, Apple promises that prominent streaming services like Disney Plus, Hulu, Paramount and others.īefore Apple removed SharePlay from iOS 15 betas - and before it returned in iOS 15.1 - I tested the feature using Apple TV Plus, watching an episode of Ted Lasso with two of my Tom's Guide colleagues.

And Apple clearly has high hopes for SharePlay, as it's releasing a developer tool so that software makers can add compatibility to their apps to work with FaceTime once the feature comes via a future iOS 15 update. Other video chat apps offer similar features, whether they're built in or available as extensions, but Apple including the functionality within its own video messaging app is significant. You can also share your iPhone screen via SharePlay.

So what about SharePlay, a change so sweeping that it will also come to iPad, Mac and Apple TV software? When SharePlay arrives, most likely as part of the iOS 15.1 update, you'll able to stream audio or video on a FaceTime call, and it will play for the other people you're FaceTiming with, with playback synced up so that everyone's watching or listening at the same time. And just in case you’re concerned that someone uninvited might crash your call, you not only have gatekeeper powers over who can enter a call, but you can also boot people out 30 seconds after they join if they turn out to be an imposter. You can now schedule FaceTime calls by creating shareable links.

Apple is extending FaceTime to Android and Windows, too, though with a browser-based interface and not a dedicated app. One last addition to FaceTime will benefit people who don’t have an iPhone. Even better, those features can be adopted by third-party apps, as can FaceTime’s newfound ability to introduce a background blur when you’re on camera. The app also adopts new Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum features - the former can filter out background noise on calls so that your voice is amplified while the latter can pick up all the ambient sounds around you. Those aren’t the only audio enhancements in FaceTime. It's a seemingly small tweak, but it makes a world of difference in letting video calls feel more natural. With spatial audio, you’ll hear the voice of the person speaking emanating from the part of the screen where their square is located. iOS 15 fixes that by giving you a grid view option that neatly stacks the faces of the people on a call instead of treating them as floating windows that resize depending on who’s talking.Įven better, FaceTime in iOS 15 lets you reap the benefit of spatial audio, at least if you’ve got an iPhone XR or later. I’m not going to pretend that FaceTime has been high on my list of go-to video messaging apps, and that’s largely because I’ve found the app to be too cluttered for my taste, particularly for group calls. It doesn't sound like we'll be waiting long for SharePlay - the feature has already resurfaced in the iOS 15.1 beta currently in the hands of developers and beta testers as of this writing.

SharePlay won’t appear until a later update as Apple fine-tunes the capability that will be available across iPhones, iPads and Macs. That would be SharePlay, the much ballyhooed feature that lets you watch videos, listen to music and share your screen with everyone else on a FaceTime call.

IOS’s 15 revamp of the FadeTime video messaging app would go down as one of the most prominent changes in iOS 15, though the biggest addition isn’t available with iOS 15’s debut. Be aware that not every iOS 15 feature will work on older iPhones, with capabilities that require a lot of neural processing power only available on iPhones with at least an A12 Bionic processor.
