tvOS 17.4 beta lets anyone control an Apple Music SharePlay session, even if they don't pay

While the primary focus in the past few hours has been on the major changes introduced in iOS 17.4, a significant tvOS beta feature has gone unnoticed. We've just discovered that tvOS 17.4 beta 1 no longer requires SharePlay participants to pay for individual Apple Music subscriptions. Instead, as long as a paid subscriber starts the session, any smartphone user can join. The Cupertino firm first brought this feature to CarPlay with iOS 17, but it has now made its way to the Apple TV, too.
