Changing Family Organizer

Hi,

I was my Family Organizer, but now I no longer have any kind of Apple device. How can I change the Organizer to the other parent? His phone won't let me do it. Thanks!

You can't change the organizer, you have to disband the family group and set it up again. Make sure individual members have their own subscriptions so there is continuity of coverage while doing this.

Children under 13 years old children can be transferred to the new family. Then disband the old family and join the new family.

Thanks, Eric. We are all three in the same existing Family group. Child is 15. I can't get onto any Apple devices they have using my appleid. They can't make changes because they're not the Organizer. Can they just leave current Family group? We can't see how to do that.
