Apple Music - signed in with wrong (family member) account

I have an subscription to Apple Music. I am the organizer of a Family, which includes my teenaged daughter.


I haven't paid much attention to this in the past, but when I open my Music app on my personal phone, I am signed in as my daughter. I can't figure out how to change from her to me.


When I look at the Music app in Settings, the only relevant information I see is that Home Sharing shows my AppleID, way down at the bottom.


If I look at Subscriptions in Settings, and go to Apple Music, I see my subscription there. There is no indication as to which account is used, but it's on my phone and my AppleID is assigned to that phone.


FWIW, my subscription had been an individual plan earlier today. I found something that said to change the account in Apple Music I would need to cancel that subsription and then sign up for a new one. I cancelled the individual one, then signed up for a Family plan. The Music app still shows my daughter's AppleID.


When in Apple Music, if I look at the account (top right) and click on Add Funds to Apple ID, it is my (not my daughter's) account that comes up as the target account for the addition of funds.


If I go to the Family in Settings, I see my daughter and I. If I look at Subscriptions in that section, I see Apple Music and see it is "Shared by You".


Having said all of that, why does Apple Music on my phone show as being under my daughter's account? How can that be changed?

Hey there dingo!,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, based on the information you've provided, it sounds like you are signed into Apple Music as expected; however, is it possible that your daughter may have set up an Apple Music profile under your Apple ID? If so, this could be why it is showing her information, even after changing the subscription plan from individual to family.


If you go through the steps in the following resource under the "View your profile" section, does your daughters information show up: See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device - Apple Support


If so, you could remove the profile by following the steps a few sections down under "Delete your profile".


Let us know if that's able to help.


Take care!
