SharePlay for Mac will launch as part of a macOS Monterey update scheduled to launch publicly with a tentative "later-this-year" release date, Apple has acknowledged today.
SharePlay, a new feature in iOS 15 that permits apps to bring user experiences right into FaceTime, is creatively supported in the video-sharing app TikTok which presents the user with a new page titled "For Us" when using the feature during a video call.
It has been in the works for weeks now, but the wait is finally over. Along with the public release of macOS Monterey 12, Apple has also released the next big updates for iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Now, users with eligible devices at their disposal can download and install iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 for free.

When Apple unveiled iOS 15 and the other major software updates coming to its popular platforms, one of the many new features coupled with the new software is called SharePlay. With this feature, users will be able to quickly and easily share their screens while using apps like FaceTime. It's a handy feature, and the expectation was that it would be available at launch. However, that won't be the case after all.
Apple is now testing upcoming AirPods Pro firmware that will bring software support for some of iOS 15's audio features like ambient noise reduction and spatial audio for FaceTime calls.

Apple is really leaning into the ecosystem with this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. So many of the company's new features it unveiled for iOS 15, or macOS 12 Monterey, or iPadOS 15, are all the same features present on the other platforms. These new elements coming to Apple's desktop operating system are no different.
