Family Sharing with Apple News+ not working?

Did I miss something? My family members are still asked to subscribe/start a trial with Apple News+ (purchases is activated).

News+ Family Sharing does not seem to work I have family sharing for Purchases and Apple Music turned on with no difficulty sharing those options. I have a subscription for Apple News+ that currently shows as off and I would like to turn it on. When I try to turn it on it just pops up a screen with a 'Learn More' button. If I click that button it pops up a screen with a 'Start Reading' button. If I click that it takes me to Apple News+. I never get to a screen that allows me to turn on Apple News+ family sharing so I am stumped on how to achieve this. I have seen in other posts that say you can't enable family sharing while you are in the trial period. I am no longer in the trial period and I have a paid subscription. Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks peter

Family Sharing I would like to add someone to my family sharing in order to share my Apple News subscription, but they are already in a family sharing of their own. Is it possible for them to still be a part of my family to access Apple News? If not, how can I share my Apple News subscription with them? Thanks!

I subscribed to Apple News and my wife is in my Family sharing group but it still asks her to purchase Apple News when she signs on. I subscribed to Apple News+ and my wife is in my Family Sharing group but it is not giving her access from her iPad or phone

Seems it takes some time until the servers are updated. Two hours later it became available.
