Hi All,

I have been resistant but I am now considering having to set up family sharing. In my house, I have myself, my wife and 3 kids, each with their own devices. We share the same icloud account, but each of them are logged into messages and facetime with their own apple ID.

If I want to start family sharing, does each of them need to log out of the "master" icloud account and log in with their own before I invite them to family share? Or do they wait for the invitation and then it will log in to icloud with their own apple ID?

Thanks for your help.
 
If anyone knows the answer to this it would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
