Paying for my own purchases in Family Sharing

Hello,

My daughter is an adult and she is in my family plan for iCloud storage and Music sharing, but I would like for her to be able to purchase her own apps. I really don't care what apps she has on her phone. How can she add her own card for apps?

The only way for her to use her own card, is if you turn off Purchase Sharing in the Family Sharing settings.


With that, she won't have any access to your purchased apps, movies, tv shows or music and will be charged on whatever payment method has been added to her Apple ID directly, but can still access the shared Apple subscriptions such as Apple Music and iCloud Storage.

Do note, this change affects everyone on the family group. So everyone will need to use their own payment method to make purchases once you turn it off.
