Hi, I'm an adult but still in family sharing, but can't make my own purchases.

The only way to be able to make purchases with my account is to leave family sharing, but I don't want to. It's very frustrating.

I've seen that other people share my opinion, and just wish there was something that could be done to make family sharing more efficient. The "organiser" system is very uncomfortable when there are several adults in the family. Even between my parents, things would get super awkward when one had to explain to the other why they bought this or that... Adults should be able to stay connected via family sharing, but should be free to make their own purchases. I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed or changed.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.
