Everyone can and should have their own Apple ID and not share an Apple ID, as adding music to your playlists is near the least bad of the problems that can and variously do arise…


Here is how ➡️ Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support


Some general info ➡️ Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


You will need the Family Sharing subscription to Apple Music for this to work. The individual subscription won’t.

I have Apple Music through Verizon, so when I go to add my child to Apple Music, there is a link that says "if you have Apple Music through Verizon click here", but the link just takes me to my apple music. I've tried customer support with Verizon and they were no help. Any ideas?


Based solely on the price shown after the offer expires (USD$9.99 per month), that’s the individual Apple Music plan and not the USD$14.99 shareable plan.
