I want to share my Apple TV subscription with my daughter. She received the invite, but it doesn't seem to work... How does she watch Apple TV when she is away?

  • You should invite her by her Apple ID account, not just any email address.
  • Both accounts need to be for the same country (as defined by the account’s billing address).
  • Once she has accepted the invite, she will be part of the group, and then she can access Apple TV+ content without having the subscription on her account. Access will be granted on being part of a Family Sharing group with one subscriber. The subscription will not be listed in her library or anything.
  • She can also accept directly on the device of the organizer, using the “Invite in person” option.
  • The Purchase Sharing option of Family Sharing is not needed per se, for sharing the Apple TV+ subscription. Subscriptions are not considered purchases for this definition.
