family member got new phone that doesn't show up on my phone's list of devices

Husband just changed phones - got a new 6s. I removed his old phone from my list of Family Sharing devices but his new phone (6s) doesn't show up in Settings under "my Name". How can I get it to appear? It appears on HIS phone's list of devices.


iPhone 6s

The only place that you should see your family member’s devices would be in Find My iPhone.


My family uses Family Sharing and we have our own Apple ID’s and iCloud accounts. Their devices do not show up in my Settings. If all of the devices are signed into the same iCloud account, then they would be visible in the settings. You should not all be signed into the same iCloud account.
