Family Sharing Problem:

Family Sharing is set up on my wife's separate Apple ID as the Organizer. I have both an iPhone SE and an iPad Pro (9.7") on my separate Apple ID, but only the iPhone is connecting with Family Sharing to a newspaper subscription purchased thru the App Store. The settings appear to be identical with up to date software on both the phone and the iPad.

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi

Family Sharing broken on ios 17 After installing iOS 17.0.1 a few hours ago on my iPhone 14, my wife can no longer access my shared Apple News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions on her iPhone 6s plus. In Settings on both iPhones, Family Sharing is properly configured and enabled. I've restarted both phones multiple times. I've deleted and re-added the iPhone 6 from the "Family". Still the iPhone 6 does not recognize the shared News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions. The shared iCloud storage however is working on the iPhone 6. Looks like a bug in iOS 17. Any suggestions?

Family sharing purchases I have an apple family sharing account, I’m the organiser (mum) My son purchased an app which supports family sharing (procreate dreams) and I want to share this with the rest of the family. I log on to his iPad, settings >family>sons account > purchases > sharing is turned on. When viewing sons settings from my family organiser account is says ‘purchases - not sharing’ when I click through it say ‘son shares purchases’ In the App Store I can not see sons app purchases. I restarted all the devices and still and no change. Any ideas before I smash 3 iPads with a hammer!

Work through the linked article carefully. If all else fails use the Get started support link at the bottom.

I meant the link near the top of the page for this thread. Might not make sense if you're working with a generated email.

Thanks, turingtest2. I can't find a hypertext link in your message for "the linked article".
