What is Family Sharing on Mac?

With Family Sharing, you and up to five other family members can share subscriptions to Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV (formerly Apple TV+), iCloud+, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade. Your family group can also share iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books purchases, an iCloud storage plan, and a family photo album. You can even help locate each other’s missing devices.

One adult—the family organizer—sets up Family Sharing, invites up to five family members to join the group, and chooses the features the family can share. When family members join, they have instant access to the shared content.

Each family member needs an Apple Account and must be signed in to their Apple Account to access family settings. The organizer, a parent, or a guardian can create an Apple Account for a child under 13. (Age varies by country or region.)

Note: Family Sharing is designed to be used by a single family (adults and children). You can be part of only one Family Sharing group at a time.

You can use Family Sharing on your Mac (OS X 10.10 or later), iPhone (iOS 8 or later), iPad, and Windows computer with iCloud for Windows (Windows 7 or later required).

To get started, see Set up Family Sharing.
