Paying Iclound+

Paying €9.99 for the Icloud+ 2TB and the other user isn’t benefiting from the extra usage. It’s only showing my usage and the other user is part of my family. Can someone help ?

iPhone XR, iOS 17

Have you added the other user to the Family Sharing group?

Do they appear on your devices under Settings ➜ Family?

Does the other user have their own iCloud subscription?

Hey @Blabla1969,


I have an old secondary Apple ID that I added to my family and I noticed that my shared iCloud storage didn’t show up after joining the family!



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.

This mattered even though my secondary account was on the default free 5 GB storage.


I had to open settings and go to switch to the Family Shared storage!


That link above will tell you how to switch to it.


Since I haven’t looked into it further, let me know if that solves the issue for your family member!
