How to Set Up Family Sharing on iPhone and iPad

 With Family Sharing, your entire family will be allowed to share all the iTunes and App Store purchases too without sharing the same Apple ID. You can use Family Sharing in such a way that the younger child will have to ask for permission before purchasing content. You will receive requests that you can deny or accept. So, below is how to get started with Family Sharing using your Apple devices.

Know About Family Sharing

1. You can add up to six family members on a Family Sharing.
2. Your device must be running on iOS 8 or above.
3. All the added members get access to each other’s purchases.
4. Once you purchase the family organizer’s iTunes account, all purchases after this will be charged from the organizer’s account.
5. If the organizer decides to remove a member from Family Sharing, he/she will have access to every content that was purchased through his/her Apple ID.
