I want to add my 13 year old to my family plan. I would like to create a unique apple id for him under our family sharing plan. But I can't seem to do it. Help?

Hey skjlives,


I understand that you can't create an Apple ID for your child without a unique phone number.


Apple does not allow children to have an Apple ID if they are under the age of 13 (this varies by region). For this, parents can create an Apple ID for them under the family option. Click on the link below to learn more!
