Calm app allows family sharing but this cannot be shared in an Apple format - why not?

Why can't I share the Calm app if family sharing is allowed?

Hi there Jill,


It sounds like you're trying to share a purchased app, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.


Check it out here: Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing


Specifically, check out the steps here for downloading it to your iPhone:


"Download purchases on your iPhone or iPod touch


  1. If you're not signed in, sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Open the store app that you want to download content from, then go to the Purchased page.*
  • App Store: Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner, then tap Purchased.
  • iTunes Store: Tap More "..." , then tap Purchased.
  • Apple Books: Tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner.

3. Tap your family member's name to see their content. Learn what to do if you don’t see any content or can't tap your family member.

4. To download an item, tap Download next to it."


We hope this helps!
