family sharing

Separating from wife. She has a .Mac email address she set up (or I did) 15 years ago. I plan to take her off family sharing. Does that mean she will lose access to emails or things like photos or is that a separate thing?

If it is her email then access to that email ID will still be there with her even after she is removed from the family Sharing. Hope she has her own Apple ID.


Remove a member from a family group

The organizer of a Family Sharing group can remove other members. When a family member is removed, they immediately lose access to shared subscriptions and content purchased by other members.

  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Family Sharing.
  2. Tap [member’s name], then tap Remove [member’s name] from Family.

You can’t remove a child from your Family Sharing group. However, you can move them to another group or delete their Apple ID. See the Apple Support article Move a child to another group using Family Sharing.

If you turned on Screen Time for a teen, you need to turn off Screen Time settings before you can remove them from the group. See Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPhone.
