Family sharing

I have received a new phone with a new number and iCloud account. I need to family share, but she is connected to my old number and iCloud account. It won’t let me update it.

How do I get her setup on my new account.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Family Sharing Why when setting my daughter with a new Apple ID under Family Settings she has access to my iCloud contacts and calendars? This is setting her my old phone as her new device. PS : I have deleted the phone to reset before assigning it to her with a new phone number.

Shared iPhone Identity My iPhone and my wife's are somehow linked via Apple IDs and I cannot seem to separate them. When I change her to another Apple ID, it changes mine also. In Family Sharing it treats us like we were one phone. I tried to sign her in with a new Apple ID and it signed my own phone in with that ID also. Any thoughts on how to separate us (the phones that is!) would be gratefully received. I have an iPhone 13, she has an iPhone 8. Thank you

Add new device with old apple id Hello, my daughter is already on my family sharing account but its not working on new devices. We signed in with her old apple id. However her new device is not showing up on family sharing. When I send the invite it says "abny" is already part of the family. But her new device isnt. Do I need to unadd her and then add her again?

One would normally backup ones old phone, swap over the SIM, and restore your backup to the new device. That way you retain access to all of your purchased apps, media, and family shared content. See Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
