Hello - my spouse and I currently share a 200GB iCloud storage pool under the family sharing plan for $2.99/Mo. We also share several apps, find my functionality, and some other stuff (but not calendars, contacts or email which are currently with Google). Because we’re migrating all photos away from Google Photos, we are getting really close to maxing out our storage, but the next tier is 2TB for $9.99/Mo. which is total overkill for our needs. Is there a way to split off her storage account only and get her a separate storage pool for $2.99/Mo., yet still remain in the family for the other stuff (shared apps, etc.)? Ideally, I’d like for us to each have our own 200GB storage pool for $5.98/Mo. instead of spending more than $4 more per month for a bunch of extra space we don’t need.

Thanks for any input you can give.
 
Nevermind - I figured it out. On her iPhone, you just go to Settings -> (Name) -> iCloud -> Manage Storage -> Change Storage Plan. From there, you can ”Stop Using Family Storage” and select your own storage plan. Hopefully, all other family features will remain intact.
