Family Sharing

My wife purchased the premium services of an app called Picture This. I tried to access those services via Family Sharing but it appears that I cannot. Does family sharing only allow you to not pay for something if it's the cost of the app itself, but not a free app with premium services?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Greetings, Duff.


It appears that you're having a problem using Family Sharing along with Purchase Sharing. You can download an application that your wife uses, but you can't use her subscription. We're glad to help with this.


What types of content can I share with my family using purchase sharing? - Apple Support -- Once you've opened this article, scroll down to "What you can't share". You can share the application, but not her subscription to the app. However, you are able to share Apple subscriptions.


Cheers!
