Thanks for your quick reply, but since we get this free from T-Mobile, they only send a redeem link to the main account holder.
Doesn't matter. The main account holder can redeem it and then share it over Family Sharing with other users.
When shared, each person should use their own Apple ID to access the shared subscription.
I tried to do it myself and each time I log in it says "accept free trial". I was hoping this could be done once we are logged in as we do with other streaming services (Disney, Hulu, Max, Netflix, Prime, etc). We have one account with 4 profiles as you said, all with unique preferences.
Apple TV does not work like the other streaming services. Each Apple ID is by definition the profile.
You log in with each Apple ID to the Apple TV box as explained in the link above, and you can then switch between them to get access to the different profiles for Apple TV+.
On your own devices, you should be logged in with your own Apple ID, never somebody else's.
Your husband needs to share the Apple TV+ subscription over Family Sharing to your individual Apple IDs.
click here ➜ Add a family member to your shared subscriptions - Apple Support
Once shared, and sign in, it may take a little while for the subscription to be available to other users.
It should appear under Settings ➜ Family ➜ Subscriptions in iPhone, iPad and Mac.
If it still won't appear, you can log out of Settings ➜ Apple Id ➜ Media & Purchases and log in again to refresh it.
