Can’t access Apple Music through family sharing

No one in my family can access Apple Music, we are already family sharing AND have an Apple Music family subscription but on their individual devices it will not allow them to access it. It says they need to subscribe.

Hi all, so apparently the solution for the problem was that everyone in the family should be having the same region/country set up in their apple store account. this can be changed from settings -> your name -> media and purchases -> view account -> change country/region. once that done to make it smoother, it would be better for the organizer to remove all the members, ensure they have done the country/region change, then to add them all by resending invitations. then it should work for all :)

I was told by Apple support rep to go into Settings ----> Name/Apple Id ---> Media & Purchases and choose sign out when you click on Media & Purchases. Stay signed out for a couple minutes then sign back in. Do this on both the head of the Apple Family's device and the family member's device.

If that doesn't work, just hop on a chat with Apple Support so they can help figure things out. I was told sometimes they need to reset some settings on their end.
