Unless you want your entire families' data synced with yours, that would be the best thing to do. Apple IDs aren't meant to be shared. Each person should have their own Apple ID. Then set up Family Sharing to allow your Family to share purchases.


If your family members are 13 years old or older.


Apple ID - create a new


Apple ID – Create


If they are under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID for them.
