How do I share apps with Family Sharing?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To share apps with Family Sharing, you can follow the steps below:

1. Make sure that you have set up Family Sharing on your Apple device. Family Sharing allows you to share purchased apps, music, movies, and other content with up to six family members.

2. Open the App Store on your device and go to the “Today” tab.

3. Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner to access your account settings.

4. Scroll down and find the section labeled “Family Purchases” or “Shared Purchases.” Tap on it.

5. You will see a list of available apps that can be shared with your family members. Tap the “+” button next to an app to add it to your family’s shared library.

6. You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID/Face ID for authentication.

7. Repeat this process for any other apps you want to share with your family.

Once you have added apps to your family’s shared library, they will be available for all family members to download and use. Each family member will have their own individual app data and settings.

It’s important to note that not all apps are eligible for sharing through Family Sharing. Some apps may have restrictions or limitations that prevent them from being shared. Additionally, in-app purchases and subscriptions may not be shareable with Family Sharing.

Family Sharing is a convenient way to share apps and other content with your family members without having to purchase them separately. It can be especially useful for families with multiple Apple devices, as it allows everyone to access the same apps without additional costs.
