Hi Fancyyancey,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I see that you need assistance joining an Apple Music Family subscription. You've come to the right place! I'm happy to help.


"If you're already part of a Family Sharing group that has an Apple Music Family subscription, you don't need to do anything to join.

If you have an Apple Music Individual subscription and want to join an existing Family that you're not already a part of, follow these steps:

  1. Ask the organizer of the Family to invite you to join their family group.
  2. Accept the invitation to join the group.
  3. After you accept the invitation, open the Apple Music app and check to make sure that you're a part of the group. Go through the steps to manage your subscription for your device and make sure you have a Family subscription.

When you join a Family subscription, your Individual or Student subscription cancels at the end of the next billing cycle. If you want to leave the family and restart your Individual or Student subscription later, you can change back."

Have a nice day!
