iOS 15 rolled out to everyone last week, bringing with it new features that are designed to make your life easier than ever. One of the features debuting with the new mobile operating system is Shared With You – a feature that highlights the content and media that others share with you via the Messages app. In this post, we’ll explain what Shared With You is, when you’ll see it, which apps support it, and how to get it working on your iPhone.

'Shared with You' is a native feature in the Messages app on iOS 15 that shows all media and other content sent to you by others via the Messages app on your iPhone. Whether it's a link, a music suggestion, an article, a podcast, photos, or news that someone has shared in the Messages app, you should be able to see the 'Shared with You' label on it.

The 'Shared with You' feature will include the content in the compatible application, along with the content sender's information, in case you want to interact with the content. When someone shares content with you, such as links, photos or videos, they will not only appear in the 'Shared with you' section of the Messages app, but also in other apps that support this new feature.

In the 'Shared with you' section, you'll see the name of the sender and tapping on it will take you to the specific interaction where that content was shared with you. Previously, every time you wanted to know who sent you a photo or video via iMessage, you had to open your recent conversations and scroll through the content that had been shared between you and the other person. 'Shared with You' eliminates that process by giving you precise information about who shared the content.
