This feature kicks in once a contact sends content through Apple TV, Photos, Safari, Apple Music, News, and Podcasts via iMessage. It does not matter from what kind of application you receive the content, since it automatically takes its own order in Shared with you. The feature is also designed so that no type of content is lost, keeping everything that has been shared with you.
