Hey,
So we have 3 iDevices in our house (my iPhone 6S, my wife's iPhone 5S, and my iPad Air). Currently we have them all on the same iTunes and iCloud account as this has always suited the needs of my family best. However, every now and then we have issues with sharing accounts (the current one which started yesterday was that now our recent call list is being sync'd across both iPhones). Therefore, I am investigating the question again as to whether it is still the best option for us, or whether there is a way to separate our accounts and keep the shared data that we require.
This is what we ideally want:
Shared apps and iTunes music (don't want to have to pay twice for apps and music - I know this can be done with Family Sharing now, and I also have Apple Music subscription and iTunes Match)
Automatic sharing of photos taken with our iPhone cameras
Sharing of Calendars
Sharing of Contacts
Separate Game Centre accounts
Preferably having all devices visible in Find My iPhone
Can anyone see any way to do what I want to do using separate accounts or is it just best to leave it as is?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Chris
