I can’t get the family share email or text I am trying to send to go thru

I am trying to set up family share from my account to my husbands and the text and email won’t go thru—and it’s not my wifi

Hi Kacdrop,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are sending the invite but for some reason, your husband does not receive it. Right?


In that case, on your husband's device try these steps from Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support to manually find and respond to the invite.


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.


The following from If you can't find your family's shared content - Apple Support may be helpful in pinpointing the issue as well.


On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 16 or later
1. Go to Settings > Family.
2. Tap your name. 
3. Make a note of which Apple ID is listed.
4. Tap Purchases. 
5. Tap Apple ID for Purchases and make sure that you're signed in with with the same Apple ID that you use for Family Sharing. If not, tap Share using secondary Apple ID and enter the Apple ID and password for that Apple ID. 


Take care.
