The
iOS 8.4 hype has been centered around the launch of Apple Music and the
Beats 1 radio service, but the latest update has also taken something
away.
Now the dust has settled some have noticed the Apple Home Sharing for music feature has been dropped in the new update.

Goodbye Home Sharing You can still use Home Sharing for video content though, and Home Sharing for music is still around for those using an Apple TV box.
We don't have any official comment from Apple on why the feature has been dropped but we can speculate that it might have something to do with the licensing agreements of Apple Music.
