How do I cancel my iCloud storage plan and use shared family storage instead?
I cannot seem to see an option to cancel the 200gb plan without losing my data.
I would like make use of the 2TB family plan available instead that I pay on my friend’s account.
The link posted by Niel specifically answers your question. You need to select the shared storage as explained there.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
In iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 later:
In iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or earlier:
thanks but unfortunately this doesn’t answer my question.
the shared storage (iCloud +) is not from me but my friend who has added me as family on their plan.
I would like to cancel my personal 200gb plan so I can use the one they already pay for without losing data.
how swiftly do I do this migration?
No. It applies to other family members, not the owner of the storage subscription.
The owner of the storage already has access to it directly, they don’t need to do that.
Only the other family members need to do that.

Follow the steps there, and select the shared storage from the Family Sharing section as explained.

The plan should have canceled automatically when you chose to use the Family Shared storage and you would get a refund for the remainder ion your plan that went unused:
"When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time."

Neil’s solution talks about ME owning that family plan and sharing it… what if I am the one added instead? *not the owner*
I understand all this but how do I cancel the 200gb personal subscription? It is not giving me the option to cancel and solely use the family sharing. That is what I’m trying to explain to you
I deleted the linked shared plan first and requested they send it again. I then followed the steps and not it accepted. That’s what I was asking….
Typo* it accepted. All is good now
