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.

Make sure they have been added to the Family Group, and can see the shared Family Subscription in Settings ➜ Family ➜ Subscriptions on their Devices.


If the see it there, then have them log out and then back in in Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ Media & Purchases.


If using other non-Apple devices please provide the make and model of the devices used.

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.
