I’m seeing the prompt to upgrade Apple Music to a more expensive tier a lot lately. Because it thinks another of my Apple devices is playing music. They aren’t in most cases. Another HomePod is usually paused. But paused is not playing.

I suspect this hostile UI is the result of Apple’s recent fixation on services revenue. Which impacts user experience across the board 😕

@ianRobinson I don’t understand why a family plan should make a difference. I often have multiple HomePods playing and stuff going on laptop and phone. I do have a family plan but all those devices are playing from my account, not other family members’ accounts.

@mo I can have multiple items playing the same thing. It’s if I try to play something different I get the error. If it thinks something else is already playing from Apple Music.

@ianRobinson I get what you’re saying. I can be playing different things concurrently on different devices.
