I’m curious, does anybody use (or have ever used) SharePlay?
When it was announced a couple of years back, I was like “This is Apple’s initiative to bring shared media consumption to their AR headset when it arrives!”. But it doesn’t seem to have gone that way? I don’t think I’ve seen much adoption of it …
I can’t use it personally since it requires FaceTime (at least for video, I think?) and FaceTime does not work in the UAE
Plus, our other use case, sharing videos while on a plane wouldn’t work either …
I know some of the streaming service apps have SharePlay integration but I don’t believe the ones I use, Netflix and Amazon Prime, do
So I’m curious, is anybody else using SharePlay a lot (or even a little bit)?

@f It's one of those things I thought was a good idea and I never use it...
@BobWilliams Me neither, which is one of the reasons I was curious about 
I thought it would be great for watching movies with my wife since that allows us both to have huge screens (instead of a tiny TV) and we generally watch everything together …
But adoption of SharePlay by other developers seemed fairly low to me. Maybe it will pick up after Vision Pro comes out? But then again, that’s a different kettle of fish (or is that can of worms?)

@f Maybe so? That's a long road before many people are using and can afford that thing. Maybe they just haven't got the experience right yet, or people just aren't aware. I've never actually tried it.
