Turn off purchase sharing before inviting them. I do not know why apple things this is a good idea but items (like movies) are only shared if purchase sharing was on when it was bought and when people want to access the bought item. Next up YOUR credit card will overwrite theirs so they can charge to it. Then if you turn off purchase sharing after they will wind up with no credit card. Whoever designed purchase sharing must hate apple and apple users.
Got a tip for us?

Sort of wish they would have kept iCloud separate and lowered prices since people's cloud needs vary so much regardless of the number of people. You could have one heavy people needing 1TB, and you could also have a bunch of light users that could live with 200GB for everyone.
Yes shared card without the owner approving even adult purchases is the worst thing ever. Purchase sharing should just share items, and payment sharing should be separate, and you should be able to choose who has full access, access with permission or no access period
If you want to see real taunting apple gave me a 3 month trial to arcade yesterday. Apple tv was a;ready free to 2/1, my trial for apple music ends monday, and the people in my family who need icloud space plan to stick with their plans. Sure, I could have saved a bit by upping my individual apple music to family for 3 months and letting the trials run out but I would not look forward to explaining to my family what I was doing.
I was on the phone to Apple about this issue, it’s because Apple music is closely intertwined to iTunes and you need to enable shared payment method / shared purchases in order to get music to work. Look under settings. Sadly this means your son can go shopping on iTunes with your card.
Yeah, the usage for my family is all over the place. I am not sure if apple does 200/famsize for everyone or what but I wish they gave you more on the family plan and let the person who manages it says who has how much. One person wants the music but does not need icloud so could use that for people that need more space.
Yes, they can not even enter their own card when your card is active. It is like apple is holding your card hostage for daring to share stuff. I actually do not worry about the younger members of my family, both sub 18 and above, they are responsible (plus they know I could turn off sharing if they get out of control) ... I am more worried about my parents forgetting their credit card is not on there and doing something like ordering a new computer.
Between my wife and I, we've used 350GB — I currently have a 2TB plan, would rather a 1TB option. But that total will continue to grow as my kids do with photos and videos.
Yeah, that number is odd. Clearly they have never seen the average photo library size of a teenager. If you have 6 people and the space is divided equally it does not even meet their 50 GB plan.
Apple One is still not available on my device. I have checked a device of a family member and the Apple One subscription button is visible. What if I would buy a Apple One on a device of my family members?
Fortunately, you can still get the individual services, but yeah, one bill would be nice. Maybe do a bundle like "Get 2 services, get 5% off; 3 services get 7%, 4 services get 10%" or something.
If you already to subscribe to additional iCloud storage, but then subscribe to Apple One, you need to manually cancel your iCloud storage unless you need the additional storage. It does NOT cancel automatically.
Apple can blow me with these ******** attempts at bundling services for recurring income.
Apple's new Apple One series of services bundles launches on Friday in over 100 countries and regions, but the top Premier tier will be limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
The limited rollout of the $29.95 Premier tier is down to the fact that Apple News+ is currently only available in the above countries. Apple News+ is exclusive to the Premier tier, along with Apple Fitness+, which isn't expected to arrive until later in the year.
Here's how the Individual, Family, and Premier tiers stack up:
Apple One's Individual tier offers savings of $6 per month, while the Family plan offers savings of over $8 per month, and the Premier plan offers a savings of over $25 per month, compared to standard monthly pricing. Apple One includes a 30-day free trial for any services that customers do not already have.
- Individual: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50GB of iCloud storage for $14.95 per month
- Family: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 200GB of iCloud storage for $19.95 per month, can be shared among up to six family members
- Premier: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and 2TB of iCloud storage for $29.95 per month, can be shared among up to six family members

i was on live chat with Apple. it seems like a device issue because I signed on to the web version of Apple music with my girlfriends account and that worked but still not working on her phone.
Just try as I suggested, enable shared purchases and then launch Apple Music on her device. You can always disable afterwards however you may lose music again.
Ignore the website, you just need to sign up using your iOS device, I've signed up and it's all working 🙂
Thank you, literally as you wrote this I checked my subscriptions again and there was the option for it...Thank You
In the U.K., for me, it cancelled it automatically. Only shows 2TB and not 2.2 etc. I have the option to add the extra 50, 200 etc. I didn’t cancel anything.
