Family Sharing I was using family sharing with one of my children. My husband created new accounts and set up family sharing with both of our children using his Apple ID. I have since removed the one that I had set up and tried to stop using family sharing as an organizer. I made sure that nothing was being shared in subscriptions, calendars, locations, etc. When I select stop using family sharing, nothing happens. I've tried joining my husband's family and keep getting the message "family has other members." How can I fix this?

Hey SCUBAMatty,

This is expected behavior from Family Sharing. If you'd like to see this feature tweaked, we can recommend leaving feedback here:
