Just a day after the release of iOS 8.4, which includes Apple's brand new
Music service Apple Music,
many users on both the
MacRumors forums and Apple Support
communities are finding that the update
Removes Home Sharing for
Music on iOS devices. This breaks the ability for users to share their iTunes Library over Wi-Fi from their mobile devices.
Apple yesterday updated a
Home Sharing support document*to **te that
Home Sharing on iOS devices is only limited to video. Thus far,
Home Sharing for
Music still appears to be available for both Mac and Apple TV. Additionally, while the
Music page in iOS' Settings once listed a
Home Sharing option prior to iOS 8.4, the option is ** longer there in the new Apple
Music settings page in iOS 8.4.
As
pointed out by
AppleInsider, the
release **tes for iOS 8.4 beta 4 mentioned that
Home Sharing and Genius Mixes were "**t currently available", offering the possibility that the feature could return in future versions of iOS.
While the possibility of
Home Sharing for
Music returning on iOS devices is there, it's unclear whether Apple would return the option for **n-subscribers of Apple Music. The
Music service includes the ability to sign up for a $14.99-a-month family plan, which allows access for up to 6 people.
