How to Access & Download Shared Purchases in Family Sharing

The best part of Apple Family Sharing is... sharing! After setting up your Family Group, you can get to sharing all of your content including iTunes purchases like apps, music, TV shows, and movies, as well as books from the iBooks store (well, except for the content that's hidden.) I love sharing music with my boys, but don't care to have any of their apps on my phone. With this tip you can use Family Sharing to share everything you want to and download none of what you don't. Here’s how to access and download shared purchases with Family Sharing.

How to Hide App Store, iBooks, and iTunes Purchases in Family Sharing

How to Create an Apple ID for Kids under 13 (UPDATED FOR iOS 12)

By Becca Ludlum

Did you know that parents can create an Apple ID for their kids under the age of thirteen? This allows the child to be a part of the Apple Family Sharing plan on the iPhone, which includes access to FaceTime, Game Center, iMessage, iCloud, and iTunes. By creating an Apple ID for your child, you can also enable Ask to Buy, which requires your approval before they can make purchases from iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store. You can add kids to the family account on various devices including iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. The minimum age for an Apple ID outside of Family Sharing is 13, which means if you want your child to have their own iCloud account within Family Sharing, they’ll need to be part of your Family Sharing group. Luckily, setting up an Apple ID for kids is easy to do. If you’re trying to set up an iPhone or iPad for kids, consider also enablingparental controls, which will give you control over what they can access and download on their device. Here’s how to create an Apple ID for your child.
