Home Sharing set to return in Apple iOS 9

An Apple employee has confirmed via Twitter that the Cupertino company are working on bringing Home Share back in iOS 9.

Those of you who loved the Home Sharing feature were probably gutted when Apple removed it in iOS 8.4. The feature allowed users to stream iTunes contents from computers to any iPhone, iPad or iPod within your WIFI network. It seems like Apple has listened to the criticism and may be bringing it back in iOS 9, if this funny little tweet is anything to go by.

A member of the public tweeted Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, to ask if they had any plans for reintroducing the service. Surprisingly, Cue responded by saying that the company were working on bringing the feature back in iOS 9. This should please a lot of people who were worried that it was gone for good.
