Apple operating systems, albeit for a different class of devices, gradually, with the release of each major update, bring gadgets closer to each other. For example, iOS 15 introduces an interesting SharePlay feature that implements the sharing of Apple devices. Initially, this option was not included in the public release of the operating system in September 2020. But a month has passed, and now in the new iOS 15.1 update, this opportunity has appeared.
And if not everyone needs a joint viewing of Apple + media content or listening to music, then the opportunity to share a picture from your screen with your interlocutor may be of interest.
