Download family members’ purchases on iPod touch

When you set up Family Sharing, you and up to five family members can share iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, and Apple TV purchases.

When your family shares App Store, music, movie, TV, and book purchases, all items are billed directly to the family organizer’s Apple ID account. Adult and teen family members can turn off purchase sharing for themselves. The family organizer can also require that children in the family group request approval for purchases or free downloads. See Set up parental controls with Family Sharing on iPod touch.

Once purchased, an item is added to the initiating family member’s account and eligible purchases are shared with the rest of the family.
