When a child in Apple Family Sharing turns 13, they're given the option to create their own Apple ID. This transition allows them to manage their account independently while still being part of the family group. Their existing data, like purchases and photos, can be transferred to their new account, ensuring they don't lose access to their content. Parents or guardians can choose to implement parental controls to manage their child's purchases and downloads.
