I added family members to my family sharing, and paid for the family Apple Music plan. My subscription sharing is on, but they still cannot access the family Apple Music subscription. What do I do?

Hi jaceygeer14,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Seems everyone would normally have access automatically, once you subscribe to the family Apple Music plan.


Seems everyone will have their own library, and can add their preferred music, re-download previous iTunes purchases etc.

After you set up Family Sharing, eligible subscriptions are automatically shared with your family members.


If your family members can't access a subscription, the article below can help with what to do:

Eg: If you want to double-check:

make sure that "Share with Family" is turned on:

What is purchase sharing?


Purchase sharing is a feature that you can use after you set up Family Sharing. When you turn on purchase sharing, everyone in your family gets access to the apps, music, films, TV shows and books that family members buy from Apple.
