Family Sharing
With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and
App Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the family group
and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate access
to each other’s movies, TV shows, books, eligible apps, and music (for more information about a
family subscription to Apple Music, see ). In addition, family members can easily
share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar, share their location with
other family members, and even help locate another family member’s missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it on
the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on
devices with iOS 8 or later, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite or later, and PCs with iCloud for
Access music
