Hi JohnnyBravo88,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities with your question about Family Sharing.


First, let's take a look at the steps below to be sure all the steps are being followed for accepting an invitation.

Join a family group

Accept or decline an invitation to join a family directly from your device. You'll get an invitation by email or in a text message. Then you can respond right from the invitation. If you miss the email or text invitation, use the steps below to respond from your device. You can be a part of only one family at a time.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Invitations.

To accept an invitation, follow the onscreen instructions. When you join a family, you might be asked to confirm your account information and to opt in to any features or services your family set up.

If you can't accept the invitation

If you can't accept the invitation, check if someone else joined a family with your Apple ID. Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year.

You will be able to find these steps and more information about Family Sharing here: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


If you still do not see the invitation, verify with the family organizer the Apple ID email address being used. We'll be here if you still need help.



Take care!
