Hi. I would like to give Apple News as a Gift to family this holiday season. I read I could just send them Apple Credit, but that is no fun.
Can I buy more than one Apple News subscription per Apple ID and then manage and pay for the subscriptions myself? Or can I buy more family members than the 6 allowed under my ID?
Or any other suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks
Hi there, JP2021.
It appears that you'd like to spread the holiday joy and provide some of your family a subscription to Apple News+. You're wondering how to accomplish this and pay for the subscriptions, and we're glad to help.
What is Family Sharing? -- If you're planning to gift this subscription to 5 or less family members, you can start Family Sharing. This article explains what things you're allowed to share. You would be the Family Organizer and would pay for the subscription. One of the benefits is you’d be paying for just one subscription.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support -- This article provides further information on how to set up and use Family Sharing.
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support -- If you decide that Family Sharing is the way to go, review the information in this article. If someone in your Family Sharing group makes a purchase, you'll be responsible for that as well. To avoid this, the other family members can add money to their Apple ID.
