When Max was still called HBO Max, it released a redesigned app for Apple devices that added SharePlay, but only in the U.S. Now, the streaming service is rolling out the feature to all users worldwide. Sale All Max users who pay for the No Ads and Ultimate No Ads plans will now be able to host and join watch parties over FaceTime and iMessage wherever they are.
Users can start watching with friends by hitting the “Share” button in the details section of each title or within the FaceTime app. Each session can have up to 32 participants, all of whom must be Max subscribers, meaning people in Asian countries and other places where Max isn’t available won’t be able to watch with friends in the U.S. or Europe. Warner Bros. plans to expand Max’s reach to Southeast Asia later this year, but Warning The company’s website says the timeline is still subject to change.
SharePlay on Max works with iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Vision Pro headsets. To start a watch party on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro, users need to find the share icon on a show or movie’s detail page, enter the contacts they want to share with and start a FaceTime call. If they select Messages on their mobile device, their friends will see a message asking them to join SharePlay. On Apple TV, users need to first open FaceTime, then click the SharePlay button and select Max from the apps list.
