This feature allows up to six family members to share purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books, as well as Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and Apple TV+ subscriptions. One adult in the familythe organizerinvites other members to participate, and agrees to pay for any purchases made by the family. This setup streamlines access to digital content across multiple Apple devices within a household.
Its importance lies in providing a cost-effective method for families to access a wide range of digital content without needing to purchase multiple individual subscriptions or apps. This capability promotes efficient resource allocation, particularly for families with multiple children or users of Apple devices. Previously, managing individual accounts for each family member could be cumbersome and expensive, making this a significant improvement in Apple’s ecosystem.
