Hi Zeyad111,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to know if you're using a shared iCloud+ storage plan. This article explains more about this and how to set it up: Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support. If you and your family didn't set it up, then you're likely using a personal plan.

"With Family Sharing, you can share an iCloud+ subscription with up to five other family members.

With Family Sharing, you can share a subscription to iCloud+ with everyone in your family group. This includes 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB of iCloud storage as well as features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support.* Learn more about iCloud+

When you share an iCloud+ subscription, everyone in the family group uses their own account. That way your photos, documents, and other information stay private, even though you're sharing access to the service. You simply share the features and space available in iCloud+ with your family members, so you only have one plan to manage.

• Share iCloud+ with everyone in your family
• Check how much storage your family is using
• Switch from your personal iCloud+ plan to your family plan
• If your family stops sharing iCloud+ or you leave Family Sharing

* Not all features are available in all countries or regions. Without access to your IP address, some websites may require extra steps to sign in or access content after you turn on iCloud Private Relay. HomeKit Secure Video requires a supported iCloud plan, compatible HomeKit-enabled security camera, and HomePod mini, HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad running as a home hub. 

Share iCloud+ with everyone in your family

To share iCloud+, you need iOS 11 or later, iPadOS, or macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. For the best experience, make sure that your family members' devices meet these requirements, too.

Switch from your personal iCloud+ plan to your family plan

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.

If your family stops sharing iCloud+ or you leave Family Sharing

If you leave a family that shares an iCloud+ plan and you're using more than 5GB of storage, you can buy your own plan to continue using iCloud storage. Learn more about what happens when you stop using Family Sharing

If you choose not to buy your own plan and the content that you’re storing in iCloud exceeds your available storage, new photos and videos won’t upload to iCloud Photos, files will no longer upload in iCloud Drive, and your iOS and iPadOS devices will stop backing up. Learn how to make more space available in iCloud"

Take care.
