Family sharing - 7 member family

We subscribe to Apple One.

In order to have different Screentime controls on my daughter's iPad and iPhone we had to create a second AppleID for her. However, this limits the number of family members we can have. We would LIKE to add my parents-in-law to our family plan but are unable to as a result.

Is there a way to add another member, even if we pay extra monthly in our Apple One plan? It seems like the ability to control screen time on more than one device would be table stakes for the Apple Family offering, so I'm puzzled why this isn't available.

Is this in the enhancement list? It seems like this, along with support for more than one custodial parent would -- again -- be table stakes for a family offering.

Hi michellew7,

There is no way to add a seventh member. Apple Family Share is limited to six total members (including yourself). You cannot add additional members by paying more for a subscription.

You can suggest the idea of adding seven total members to Family Share and/or the idea of controlling limits per device here - Feedback - iPhone - Apple. Apple promises to read all feedback.
