One day has passed since the release of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 operating systems; Apple has already started the beta process for new versions. Today, the first beta of iOS 15. 1 and iPadOS 15. 1 has been released for developers. Developers will be able to install the new update distributed over the OTA channel directly from the Settings app.
The build number of the iOS 15. 1 and iPadOS 15. 1 Beta update is 19B5042h. If it does not appear on your phone, you need to wait a few minutes.
SharePlay is back with iOS 15. 1
Apple mentioned the SharePlay function while addressing the iOS 15 features at the WWDC21 event. SharePlay, which allows users to watch movies together over FaceTime and listen to music in playlists on Apple Music, also supports screen sharing.
Apple decided to postpone SharePlay, which was featured during the introduction of the iOS 15 operating system. As expected, with the update released on Tuesday, no new features came to iPhone models that support iOS 15. However, the company has brought SharePlay functionality back to the operating system with the iOS 15. 1 Beta 1 update released today. It has been stated that the SharePlay Development Profile is no longer required to use the feature.
SharePlay, which supports Apple TV as well as Apple Music, is currently compatible with a limited number of platforms. Thanks to the SharePlay API offered by Apple to developers, compatible platforms are expected to increase. SharePlay supported apps are:
- Disney+
- Hulu
- HBO Max
- Paramount+
- Pluto TV
- NBA TV
- Twitch
- TikTok
- MasterClass
- ESPN+
The innovations known to come with iOS 15. 1 Beta 1 are limited to SharePlay for now. If you are also a developer and have installed the update, you can report any changes you notice in the comments.
tvOS 15. 1 Beta 1 and watchOS 8.1 Beta 1 are also live
Apple has also released tvOS 15. 1 Beta 1 for developers. In the update notes, the company stated that it fixed an issue that caused VoiceOver to not work after activating it. In addition, watchOS 8.1 Beta 1 version has started to be distributed for the operating system of Apple Watch smart watches.
