Family sharing iCloud+

I added my niece and nephew to my family plan and today I realized that on the iCloud storage it said that they weren’t using it. Is it because they just got added or because they didn’t join the family plan correctly.?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello Boymom_.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. First, let's confirm that your family members are showing up in the Family Sharing group. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing > iCloud +. This section should show you which family members have access to iCloud +.


If you don't see them listed in iCloud+ section, follow these steps here: Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support


1.) If you haven't set up Family Sharing yet, set up Family Sharing
2.) Go to Settings > [your name].
3.) Tap Family Sharing.
4.) Tap iCloud+.
5.) Follow the steps to share your existing plan.
6.) Use Messages to let any family members with an existing iCloud+ plan know that they can now switch to your shared iCloud+ plan.

If everyone is correctly showing up in your iCloud+ settings, have everyone restart their iPhone. If that doesn't help, try updating all iOS devices as well. We hope this information is helpful. Cheers.
