Family sharing member was added without an invite

Today i realized that an unfamiliar name/person was in my family sharing. I am the organizer for my family sharing and did not invite this person. How is that possible? The only other family member I have did not invite them either. Neither of us know him. This worries me because I had my purchase sharing allowed for family also. This should not have been possible.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Contact Apple Support using the Get Support link in the upper right, as they’re the only folks that can review the logs and related data.


One potential cause here is a compromise of your Apple ID password, though there are undoubtedly other possibilities.
