## What is Shared?

Shared makes it easier to share music and podcast links across services.

Send one link that opens in Shared, where anyone can get to their preferred music or podcast service. If they don’t have Shared, they can still get there with the App Clip.

Shared can also identify songs playing around you or on your iPhone or iPad. If you leave the app, you can keep up with Song ID in a Live Activity. Once a match is found, it’s added to your history.

Once something’s in Shared, you can open it in your preferred service, set a reminder to check it out later, explore lyrics with annotations on Genius, or read ratings and reviews on Musicboard. With Shared+, you can also search across music and podcast services and open the results where you want.

When browsing in Safari, the Open in Shared extension can open supported links in Shared, streamlining your experience.

Shared’s deep integration with iOS and iPadOS means you can:
• use the Shortcuts app to open links across services, generate Shared links, and more,
• use Spotlight to search your history and start actions from Shortcuts,
• use Siri, Control Center, or Home and Lock Screen widgets to start actions with Shared, and
• see Shared links to music and podcasts sent to you in Messages right inside Shared.
Shared also syncs your history with iCloud, so it’s available across your devices.

If you enjoy using Shared and want even more, subscribe to Shared+.
