Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My whole family is using my apple id. apple store people recommended this back when we all got iPhone3s. Is it possible to create new apple id's for each family member AND allow sharing of existing apps BUT allow each individual apple id to purchase new apps with their new apple id?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
