Home Sharing for Music Disappears in iOS 8.4

MacRumors:

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.

Apple this week updated a Home Sharing support document to note Home Sharing on iOS devices is limited only to video. Home Sharing for music on both Macs and the Apple TV so far remains unaffected. MacRumors also notes that a Home Sharing option on the Music page in the Settings menu no longer mentions a Home Sharing option that was listed before the iOS 8.4 update.

AppleInsider notes that the release notes for the iOS 8.4 beta did mention that Home Sharing and Genius Mixes were “not currently available.” This does lend hope that the option may return in the future.
