Hello MunozSquad0406,


If you're unable to turn off Family Sharing you'll want to check the members of the group to see if any or the Apple ID ages are under 13. If anyone in the Family Sharing group is under 13 it will not allow you to turn it off until that Apple ID is transferred to another Family Sharing group or it is deleted.


If there is someone in the group that is under 13, you can use these steps to transfer them to another family Move a child to another group using Family Sharing


If there's no other family to move the Apple ID to, you'll need to delete the account before you can turn off Family Sharing.


How to delete your Apple ID account


Once the Apple ID has been deleted, you can then proceed with turning off the Family Sharing.


Leave Family Sharing


Cheers!
