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 iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store 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. See support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322.

Share photos or videos with family members. When you set up Family Sharing, a shared album called “Family” is automatically created in the Photos app on all family members’ devices. To share a photo or video with family members, open the Photos app, then view a photo or video or select multiple photos or videos. Tap , tap iCloud Photo Sharing, add comments, then share to your shared family album. See iCloud Photo Sharing on page 83.

Add an event to the family calendar. When you set up Family Sharing, a shared calendar called “Family” is automatically created in the Calendar app on all family members’ devices. To add a family event, open the Calendar app, create an event, then choose to add the event to the family calendar. See Share iCloud calendars on page 79.

Set up a family reminder. When you set up Family Sharing, a shared list is automatically created in the Reminders app on all family members’ devices. To add a reminder to the family list, open the Reminders app, tap the family list, then add a reminder to the list. See Reminders at a glance on page 105.
