How do my family members create our own profiles in apple tv+? It isn't as intuitive as on other streaming services... frustrated!

Apple doesn’t work with profiles within one account. Instead each user must have their own Apple ID account, then the family members can be grouped into one Family Sharing group. This way, each group member doesn’t need the account credentials of anyone else. One of the group members has to take on the role of organizer, and invite the others, each by their own Apple ID account. After accepting the invite, all the group members have access to the shareable subscriptions from any of the group members, such as Apple TV+.
