In person and Invitation not working on Family Sharing. Region error

Hi

we have been Family Sharing for years. The other day it stopped working so we removed the family member and tried to re-invite. The invitation method didn’t work so we tried in-person but were told the invitee’s region needed to be changed to USA. The problem is, we are all in the UK, as are all of our accounts.

help!!!

Have both the organizer and the person you're trying to re-invite reselect their region.


I had a problem a while back where the News app disappeared from my phone. I tried everything but kept getting an error that it was restricted. Then, I tried to add a new card to Apple Pay and get a region error. When I just looked at the settings, it said "US". However, I went in and reselected "US" and, voila, everything worked again.
