Family Sharing allows up to six family members to share purchases from the App Store, including apps, without sharing accounts. To set it up, one adult in the family, the organizer, invites members. Each member can then access shared content in their own accounts. Purchase sharing ensures that all new App Store content bought by family members is billed to the organizer's account, but personal accounts remain unaffected, maintaining privacy and customization.
