Want to stop sharing ID with mom

We started sharing her ID when I got my 11 for Christmas back in 2020 because I was a few months short of being able to have my own Apple. I have since created my own ID and want to stop sharing hers, but also want to keep her Apple Music library and ringtones. Plus, I will still need to rely on her to pay with her card. Is there a way to do this?

Well you can get some of the way there by using: https://www.apple.com/uk/family-sharing/

Note for Apple Music you mother will need to upgrade to a family plan to give you access, it is my understanding.

It may be advisable for your mum to turn on Ask to buy, as her adding you to a family sharing group, will let you purchase applications etc. from her payment methods.
