Learn How To Disable SharePlay And Regain Privacy

SharePlay is a feature that allows you to connect with others through virtual connections, whether it be watching a movie together or playing multiplayer games. While it’s a great way to stay connected, there may be times when you want to turn off this feature for privacy reasons or to avoid distractions.

How to Turn Off SharePlay on Apple TV

Disabling SharePlay on Apple TV is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Using your Apple TV remote, press the “Menu” button to go to the home screen.
  2. Look for the active SharePlay session thumbnail on the home screen, which may show the participants’ faces or the content being shared.
  3. Highlight the active SharePlay session.
  4. Press the “Play/Pause” button on your remote.

By doing this, you will either pause or stop the SharePlay session, depending on your preference.

How to Turn Off SharePlay on Mobile Devices

If you want to disable SharePlay on your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
