Q: Family Sharing

Hi maryann,

If you are in a family group and wish to leave it, and are over the age of 13, you can do so by following steps from this article -

Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

Specifically -

How do I leave a family group?

Any family member over the age of 13 can remove themselves from a family group at any time.*

• In iOS 8 or later, tap Settings > iCloud > Family, tap your name, then tap Leave Family.
• In OS X Yosemite, go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family, click your name, then click the Remove (-) button in the bottom-left corner.

 

When you turn off Family Sharing, you leave the family. After you leave a family, you can join or set up a new one. However you can only switch to a different family group once per year.

The family organizer can also disband the family group. From that same article -

Yes. If the family organizer stops Family Sharing, it removes all family members from the family group at once.

In iOS 8 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Family, tap your name as the organizer, then tap Stop Family Sharing.

 

In OS X Yosemite, go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family, click your name as the organizer, then click the Remove (-) button in the bottom-left corner.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Sincerely,

Brett L
