15 views

Apple Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share App Store purchases, Apple subscriptions like iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV+, and more, without sharing accounts. To set it up, one person—the family organizer—invites members to join their family group and agrees to pay for any purchases. From there, family members can download and enjoy each other's eligible purchases. Setup is done through the Settings app, under your Apple ID, where you can invite family members via iMessage.
