Q: Disabled Family Sharing but iOS App Store still shows sharing

Started another thread since the last thread was marked as Solved in error:Disabled Family Sharing but iOS App Store still shows sharing

 

Basically, disabling Family Sharing still leaves the shared app links in the iOS App Store

 

I have repeatedly added and removed Family Sharing from Mac and iOS. I have logged out of iCloud on both devices and the linkage is still there.

 

How long does it take for the iOS App Store to catch on that Family Sharing has been disabled?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.2

    I believe that it will no longer "share" NEW purchases.  But previously shared purchases will persist.  That is my understanding, but I have no references to provide.

    That seems logical except for this from Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

     

    "When you leave Family Sharing, your Apple ID is removed from the family group, and you stop sharing music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps with any remaining family members."

     

    The music, movies, TV shows and books appear to have been "unshared", but the App Store does not appear to have been unshared.

     

    Also, the Mac App Store appears to be unshared properly as well.
