Need 7 members for iCloud Family Sharing?

How can I add a seventh person to our family sharing? We have 5 kids! We have the highest monthly plan available and need to make sure all our family members are included.

Its not possible to have 7 members at this time. The Maximum is 6 members. The Family Organizer plus 5 more.


The limit is based on Apple IDs not number of devices or actual people.


If one of the children is very small, they can potentially share an Apple ID with another child to reduce the amount of Apple IDs to only 6 for the time being.


Also provide feedback to Apple about this so they increase the number of family member's Apple IDs in a Family Group.
