Share iPad

Is it possible to share your iPad (a few apps) with somebody, who has Apple ID but doesn ´ t have any Apple device? He already got invitation, but open it on Mail app on Apple device seems like an only option how to manage family share.


Thank you for your answer

An iPad is a single-user device. 


Unlike other computers with which you may be familiar, that support multiple user profiles - other than “managed” educational environments, OS/iPadOS devices are not intended to be shared.


Be aware that if you sign-out of iCloud and other Apple services - and allow another user to sign-in - you’ll not be able to change back for 90-days.


So as to prevent account abuse, some critical Apple services will only allow one change of signed-in AppleID (on a device) in a 90-day period.


Also consider that if you allow somebody else to use your iPad, your sensitive and personal data may be accessible.


In conclusion, unless you fully understand and accept the implications, you would be well advised to reconsider any attempt to share your iPad with another user.
