Does anyone receive the Family Transfer Request notice? If so where do you receive this notification?

When attempting to transfer a child under 13 iCloud account from one family sharing to another family sharing, where does the Family Transfer Request show on your phone, tablet or Mac?

Hello lc215,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to know, where the family organizer can accept a child into Family Sharing. We can help point you in the right direction.


The family organizer in which the child is being transferred to in Family Sharing will receive a notification to approve the request. From there, the family organizer can go on an iOS device or a Mac to approve the child. For the appropriate steps is outlined in the section of this article that says, "If the child is already in your family": Move a child to another group using Family Sharing


Please let us know if that helps.


Kind regards.
