Hi Samuel_0930,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. It looks like you came from the following support article: How to download apps and content that your family members purchased - Apple Support


If the link that you came from did not help, here's a few things that may be useful: If you can't find your family's shared content - Apple Support

1. Go to Settings > Family.
2. Tap your name. 
3. Make a note of which Apple ID is listed.
4. Tap Purchases. 
5. Tap Apple ID for Purchases and make sure that you're signed in with with the same Apple ID that you use for Family Sharing. If not, tap Share using secondary Apple ID and enter the Apple ID and password for that Apple ID. 

Best regards.
