Apple\u2019s Family Sharing service makes it easy to share apps, media, and more within a family of up to six members, and it provides a few helpful digital housekeeping capabilities, such as locating your kid\u2019s misplaced iPad. Here\u2019s an overview of how Family Sharing can enhance your family\u2019s everyday life, both online and in the real world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Source Sans Pro&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<b style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Manage Your Kids\u2019 Purchases<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Every Family Sharing group has an organizer. That person (probably you) sets up the family on a Mac in System Preferences &gt; iCloud and connects a credit card to the account to pay for all App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store purchases of apps, music, TV shows, videos, and ebooks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">For any child under the age of 18 in the group, you can turn on Ask to Buy. This feature lets your kid shop for apps or media, but complete a purchase only if you approve it. Ask to Buy also applies to free downloads so you can maintain control over free games. You can give other adults in your family the ability to approve Ask to Buy requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4772\" data-attachment-id=\"4772\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-1024x314.png\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-300x92.png\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent.png\" data-orig-size=\"1224,375\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/simplify-modern-family-life-with-family-sharing-on-your-apple-devices\/family-sharing-ask-to-buy-child-and-parent\/\" height=\"178\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-1024x314.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-1024x314.png 1024w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-768x235.png 768w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent-1080x331.png 1080w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Family-Sharing-Ask-to-Buy-child-and-parent.png 1224w\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"581\"\/><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Source Sans Pro&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<b style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Share Apps, Media, and More<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">To help you keep costs down, once someone in the family has purchased an app or media file, anyone else in the family can download it. Keep in mind that some apps don\u2019t allow such sharing and in-app purchases can\u2019t be shared. Helpfully, you can hide some or all purchases from other family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">You can also buy a family subscription to Apple Music, Apple\u2019s streaming music service. At $14.99 per month for a family instead of $9.99 per person, it\u2019s a good deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Family Sharing creates a few items that all group members can access on their Apple devices:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 23px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<li style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">A shared Family album appears in the Photos app, making it easy to build a common set of photos.

We find this feature helpful for determining when someone is likely to be home for dinner or for a teenager to see that a parent is en route to a pickup. If you need privacy briefly, you can temporarily stop sharing your location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">You won\u2019t need the Find My iPhone app\u2014which shows the location of all your family\u2019s Apple devices, including the tiny AirPods\u2014on a daily basis.
