Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing

With purchase sharing, you can give your family members immediate access to each others’ apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books.*


 

You can set up purchase sharing when you create your new Family Sharing group, or you can turn it on for your existing family. With purchase sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books that family members make while they're part of the family group. Then everyone in your family can access the music, movies, books, and apps that other family members buy, and enjoy them on their own devices.

You can see and download your family members' purchases from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, and PC.


On your iPhone or iPod touch

  1. If you're not signed in, sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Open the store app that you want to download content from, then go to the Purchased page.
    • iTunes Store: Tap  > Purchased.
