icloud storage family sharing

I just upgraded my icloud storage plan for family sharing, but cannot find how to add the storage to the family member's devices. They are still tied to the free 5 gb of storage

Hi mmtcryan,


I recently configured this myself. Here are the steps I went through to make it work on my iPhone:


  1. Turn on Family Sharing (In the Settings app search for 'Family')
  2. Invite family members to join and have them accept the invitation (they should appear in your family members list)
  3. In "Family Sharing", there is a list of things that can be shared called "Shared Features", select "iCloud Storage"


I was able to share iCloud storage with my family members then.


I hope this helps.
