Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Can my husband and I both use the same Apple ID?

Can my husband and I use the same Apple ID for family sharing?

More than one person using the same Apple ID is almost always a bad idea. Among other things it can result in unwanted syncing of data (including deletions) between the devices.


The idea behind Family Sharing is that you each use your own Apple ID but can still share selected things if you want to. See the following for more information about Family Sharing: Family Sharing - Apple Support
