AppleTV+ Family Invitation

I invited my brother and mom to use my new AppleTV+ account. They both acknowledged receiving the invitation but that’s about as far as it goes. So, I drove an hour to my mom’s house so that I could sign her in. After 2 hours of trying to use my iPhone and her iPhone to follow the directions that I could find online and can’t get Jack **** Done. There are no clear instructions on how to do this. I keep seeing “Open Setting, got to Users and Accounts”. Can someone please tell me where the heel this option exits -

iPhone 14, iOS 16

At least one of the group members needs to subscribe to Apple TV+, in order to share it.

See your subscriptions overview - Apple


You don’t have to share purchases in order to share an Apple TV+ subscription. Purchase sharing also implies that the organizer pays for the whole group for media purchases. Some groups may not want that.


Apple TV+ gets shared automatically to all members of the Family Sharing group. If they accepted the invitation, then they get access to the Apple TV+ content in the Apple TV app on their devices (e.g. iPhone), when signed in with their own Apple ID account (as used for defining the group). The other group members can just go to the Apple TV app, and start watching content from the Apple TV+ catalog.


The Apple TV+ subscription will be listed for the original subscriber only as an active subscription, but the other group members can access Apple TV+ on their own account. The other group members can see what is shared on iPhone in Settings﹥[Them/Their Apple ID]﹥Family Sharing﹥…
