The Apple TV+ subscription is automatically shared for all users within a Family Sharing group, when one of the group members is a subscriber. No action needed.


To start using Family Sharing, one of the group member has to take on the role of organizer, and invite the others, each by their Apple ID account. In turn, the prospect group members have to react and accept this invitation. When confirmed, they are immediately part of the group.

- All group members need an activated Apple ID account.

- All group members heed to have set their Apple ID account for the same country. Family Sharing doesn’t work internationally.

- The shared subscriptions show as active subscription only for the subscriber. The others can see what is shared in their Family Sharing settings. The others can just access any of the shared content: go to the Apple TV app on any of their devices, then select any show from the Apple TV+ catalog there.
