Family Sharing

I set up family sharing so that my wife can download onto her iPhone any app I originally purchased on my iPhone. I am the organizer. How can I configure family sharing so that I can download onto my iPhone any app she originally purchased on her iPhone?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 12

Hi Piper John,

Family Sharing is great for sharing purchases among family members. To get started, make sure share My Purchases is on, follow the steps below to check:

Tap Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing. On iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Family.
Under Shared Features, tap Purchase Sharing.
Make sure Share My Purchases is turned on, and that your account information is correct.

Once turned on, follow the steps to view your wifes apps:

Open the App Store, then go to the Purchased page. Tap or your photo in the upper-right corner, then tap Purchased.
Tap your family member's name to see their content.
To download an item, tap next to it.

I hoped this helped, let me know if you are unable to follow the steps or need further explanation.

Take care,
