Why can't I add someone to family sharing

There is no button to add a member. There are only four of us including me. I want to add my third adult child.

Hi Bchawaii,


We see you're posting from the Set up Family Sharing resource. Here's how to add another family member to your group:


"The organizer of the Family Sharing group can add a family member who has their own Apple ID.

  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Family Sharing, then tap the Add Member button in the upper-right corner.
  2. Tap Invite Others, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. You can send the invitation using AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. If you’re near the family member, you can also tap Invite in Person and ask the family member to enter their Apple ID and password on your device."


You can check out the full resource here: Add a member to a Family Sharing group on iPhone - Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Take care.
