Add new devices to family sharing
My daughter got a new iPhone and my son got a new iPad. How do I add the new devices to our family sharing. They signed into their new devices with their Apple ID. Should I have signed in with mine?

If they are members of your Family Sharing, they should sign in with their ID, not your ID. When they sign into Settings/Your Name/iCloud, their devices should appear in Family Sharing devices. If the devices didn't appear, try signing out of iCloud and back in to see if the new devices appear.

Thank you so much for your reply! They did both sign in with their ID and I also signed out and signed back in on my account. I still don’t see their devices. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
You are welcome. Did they try sign out of iCloud and back in on their devices?
