How to permanently disable Shareplay notifications and prompts on iPhone?

I cannot get Shareplay to turn off. I have turned off every setting I can possibly find. I keep getting prompted in Music to connect with my husband. I have a constant notification. This just started after the new update to the latest iOS. 😖

The standard FaceTime toggle often leaves app-integration hooks active. Blocking it through Screen Time stops Music and other apps from trying to initiate sessions

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Tap Screen Time.
  • Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions (enter your Screen Time passcode if prompted).
  • Tap Allowed Apps & Features (or App & Feature Restrictions).
  • Find SharePlay in the list and toggle the switch to Off.

i have the same problem. Only just moved over to iOS 27. I’ve turned off everything (and yes, I mean everything), still the notification is there. I’m wondering (as it’s only my husband it wants to connect with) if it’s to do with the organiser of family account.
