If you have sharing turned on and have an eligible plan, they should be automatically invited. You may need to restart devices first to make sure the devices are checking for status updates.
Add a family member to your shared subscriptions - Apple Support
- You can share many subscriptions from Apple, like Apple TV+ and Apple Fitness+, with your family.
- "When you share subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, or Apple TV+, each person sees their own preferences and recommendations — not the whole family’s. And when you share an iCloud storage plan, family members can't see each others’ photos, files, or documents."
- How to add a family member to your subscription from Apple

Switch from your personal iCloud+ plan to your family plan
Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support
"When you share an iCloud+ subscription, everyone in the family group uses their own account. That way your photos, documents, and other information stay private, even though you're sharing access to the service. You simply share the features and space available in iCloud+ with your family members, so you only have one plan to manage."
"Switch from your personal iCloud+ plan to your family plan
When you share iCloud+, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.
If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time."
