It has been a busy week, iOS 8.4, Apple Music, Beats 1 Radio, Jailbreak… and among so much novelty some old function escapes that Apple decides to liquidate in a veiled way and without anyone knowing. This time it was the «Home Sharing» function, Apple has made it disappear at a stroke, and there are several users who have realized this and have asked for explanations through the different means of attention and support that Apple makes available to users.
The Cupertino company seems to have eliminated the support for "Sharing at Home" with the arrival of iOS 8.4, several users have noticed as we can see in the Apple Support Forum. This feature allows iOS device users to access their iTunes library from anywhere and transfer the content to their iPhone or iPad. The feature that mainly supported video and audio, with the arrival of iOS 8.4 will only allow video, leaving the audio only for the Apple TV.
This measure is not so far-fetched, if we take into account that this is already done by Apple Music and its lists, especially if we have "Family Sharing" activated, so the duplication of services is absurd. However, it is likely that the removal of the music sharing service over WiFi has also had limitations due to contracts with Apple Music rights holders, but as we have already said, the solution is simple, Apple Music configuring «Family Sharing» that will allow you to access your music catalog from six different Apple IDs.
This "Home Sharing" service was released in 2011 as a new feature in iOS 4.3, what times. If you used this feature, maybe this will serve as an excuse to start using Apple Music if you don't already use it, start enjoying your three-month free trial.
Of course, so much "duplicity" is absurd having the possibility of activating Family sharing (requires Apple ID credit card) or activating Apple Music and paying after 3 months. Totally absurd having the possibility of PASSING THROUGH THE BOX, you mean right?
Anyway, what you have to read ... (or rather, what you have to STOP reading ...)
hahaha according to you, sharing at home has nothing to do with apple music, and I realized that from beta1 and commented on it.
The absurd is the article. The difference is to checkout sooner or later, so we will stay at 8.3 and look for alternatives to the apple, increasingly rotten with dollars.
