I can’t accept legacy contact request

My husband added me as a legacy contact. When I click on the invitation, it just takes me to the legacy contact I for page on safari. There is no option to accept. We have tried resending it multiple times.


I know it’s not an issue with my device because I have accepted an invite from my sister to be her legacy contact a few days ago and it worked.

Hello Bechahaha,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We want to help you with this issue. If you're currently already in a Family Sharing group with your husband and he adds you as a Legacy Contact, you will be automatically added. You can have him confirm if you're listed in his settings by following this path here:


1.) On his iPhone go to Settings > [his name] > Password & Security.

2.) Tap on Legacy Contact.


In this section he can see who is listed there. This resource does explain a little more how this process works: How to add a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID - Apple Support



We hope this helps you. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
