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, App Store, and
iBooks Store purchases those family members initiate while part of the family
group. Once set up, family members get immediate access to each other’s
music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. 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. Family Sharing is available on devices with iOS 8 or later,
Mac computers with OS X Yosemite or later, and PCs with iCloud for
Windows 4.0. You can be part of only one family group at a time.
Set up Family Sharing.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Set Up Family Sharing. Follow the onscreen
instructions to set up Family Sharing as the family organizer, then invite family
members to join.
Create an Apple ID for a child.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap
Create an Apple ID for a child.
Accept an invitation to Family Sharing.
Make sure you are signed in to iCloud, and that you can accept a Family Sharing
invitation from your iOS device (iOS 8 required), Mac (OS X Yosemite required),
or PC (iCloud for Windows 4.0 required). Or, if the organizer is nearby during the
setup process, he or she can simply ask you to enter the Apple ID and password
you use for iCloud.

Access shared purchases.
Open iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or App Store, tap Purchased, then choose a
family member from the menu that appears.
When a family member initiates a purchase, it is billed directly to the family
organizer’s account. Once purchased, the item is added to the initiating family
member’s account and is shared with the rest of the family. If Family Sharing is
ever disabled, each person keeps the items they chose to purchase—even if
they were paid for by the family organizer.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
The family organizer can require young family members to request approval for
purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the
person’s name.
Note: Age restrictions for Ask to Buy vary by area. In the United States, the
family organizer can enable Ask to Buy for any family member under age 18; for
children under age 13, it’s enabled by default.
Hide your iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases.
To hide all your purchases from family members, tap Settings > iCloud > Family
> [your name], then turn off Share My Purchases. On your computer, you can
also hide specific purchases so they aren’t available to other family members.
