If the child is already in your family

You can ask an organizer from another family group to invite the child to their family. After they invite the child, you get a notification. You can approve from the notification or use these steps:

  • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings. Below your name, find a notification that says "Family Transfer Request." Tap the notification and follow the onscreen instructions.
