Family Sharing
With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and

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. It is available on 
devices with iOS 8, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite,  and PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0.
