Family Sharing
Keep your family organized and connected.
An easier way to share.
Your family can share purchases without sharing accounts. And buying is simple because everything is paid for with one credit card.
Permission granted.
With Ask to Buy, your child needs permission to make purchases. In iCloud preferences, click Manage Family, select a child, then turn on Ask to Buy.
Only buy it once.
Download items purchased by another family member. Go to the Purchased section in the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or App Store.
Start with the Family Organizer.
One adult — the Family Organizer — can invite up to five family members. To sign up, open System Preferences, click iCloud, then click Set Up Family.
If you already set up Family Sharing with iOS 8, you’re ready to go!
