looking to confirm family sharing before I cancel my individual subscription

I have iclouds, the basic or smallest one i think. My wife just subscribed to a bigger package. It apparently has family sharing. I joined it, so can I cancel my small individual package?


iPhone XR, iOS 16

If you had the free 5GB package, you are switched automatically after she shares her plan. If you were paying for a larger plan, it will be cancelled automatically after she shares her plan and you switch. See information in Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support including the following:


When you share iCloud+, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.


If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. 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.
