Hi givens160,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We appreciate you reaching out about Apple Music, and how to share a family subscription. We're certainly glad to help.


When sharing purchases and subscriptions using Family Sharing, each family member should use their own unique Apple ID. This way, you'll all have access to shared content, without mixing up your Apple Music libraries, and other content such as iMessages, FaceTime calls, etc.


Here's a great resource with more information all about Family Sharing. Let us know if you've got any questions about this:

We'd also like to share a link with instructions to help create new Apple IDs for each family member:


How to create a new Apple ID


Have a great day!
