Purchase Sharing vs Purchase Funding Separation Please
When will Apple get the understanding that family purchase sharing should NOT mean Purchase funding?
Families should be able to independently control sharing existing purchases vs paying for new purchases by other members. It’s a really simple concept.
Family members should be able to fund their own transactions and request a family funded purchase if they want to use family funds, not have every purchase go through the organizer’s funding source. This seems like such a bone-head simple functionality.
This has been broken and anti-family friendly forever. Is there currently ANY traction on this within Apple?
Right now my teen daughter cannot use her Apple gift cards to purchase music for her Apple Music account without first turning off family sharing, and losing the ability to share iCloud+ space. Same with my spouse and subscriptions she is paid for through work. She has to completely disable purchase sharing to pay with her own source, then re-enable sharing.
Are we really the only family on the planet that thinks this should have been fixed eons ago??
