Also, it is recommended that you each have your own Apple ID and use Family Sharing to share selected things. Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child - Apple Support

I do have one other question now. I will check into the family sharing and Apple ID for my child. My other question is how do I rename my phones in my ICLOUD account. I have changed service providers and I had to buy all new phones for everyone so I now have 4 phones showing in ICLOUD with 2 of them having the same name and all of them saying Melinda's IPHONE. Can you tell me how to change them so I can identify each one individually?

If you want to delete backups for phones that you no longer have (and you no longer need the backup to set up a new phone), the following has instructions: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

I wish I had found this Apple support site hours ago! Also, the download worked perfectly as well. I can't thank you enough FoxFifth!
