The issue appeared to affect mainly the United States, according to Down Detector’s error reports.

Hulu was aware of the issue and tweeted on Tuesday that it was working to fix it.

“Sorry for the interruption! We’re currently investigating this issue with a high priority, and we hope to have a fix in place soon. Thanks a bunch for your patience!,” Hulu’s official support account tweeted. By 10 a.m. the problem appeared to have been fixed.

SharePlay was a leading feature in announcements about iOS 15, but it's not going to be available until later in the fall. When it launches, people will be able to share screens and stream synced content over FaceTime. SharePlay will also allow collaboration on Apple Music, like pausing or skipping between tracks with another person.
