I DID PURCHASE FAMILY SHARING OFR MY WIFE AND MY SON TO USE...THEY USE THE SAME APPLE ACCOUNT AS ME....DO THEY NEED NEW APPLE IDS?

Yes, every person needs their own Apple ID. Sharing Apple ID's among family members is not a good idea and should only be shared on devices used by the same person. This has long been recommended by Apple:

Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support


The Apple One subscription comes in an Individual Plan for $19.95/month(US) that can only be used by one person. The Family Plan is $25.95/month(US) and can be shared with up to 5 family members using Family Sharing.

OK....SO i SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHUT OFF iCLOUD AND IT WILL FIX IT?

To fix the problem, each family member needs their own Apple ID with iCloud left on. And to share the Apple One Subscription, you will need the Family Apple One at $25.95(US)/month and set up Family Sharing by adding each family member using their own Apple ID. The Subscription can be shared by following this support article:

The shared voice mails have only been reported when 2 phones are using the same iCloud. I have not seen it happening with Family Sharing and there is not even an option to allow it.


Did you purchase the Family Apple One subscription to share the services with your wife or attempting to share the Individual subscription using Family Sharing?


It may be necessary to contact Apple directly if you are not able to get any solutions.
