Question: When I go into Media and Purchases and view my account (on iPhone 12), it shows that if I want to change my country, it’s managed by a Family account: hohappleid… I don’t want to change my country, but I’m concerned about how it’s controlled by a Family account…and what is hohappleid? Have only discovered one other post regarding this, and it was the same id name, a few days ago:(
Thanks so much!
iPhone 12 Pro
There is nothing to fix. HOH stands for Head of Household and is a standard term used to describe the person in the Apple Family group that is often referred to as the Organizer. All Apple is saying is that the organizer’s (HOH) Apple ID controls the region of the group.
Apple has a rule that all members of the Family Sharing Group must be in the same country or region. What your seeing is an explanation under the setting to change country/region, that the Head of Household (Apple Family Sharing group) Apple ID controls the country setting and other group members can’t change the setting. Everything is working the way it’s supposed to.

Has anyone figured out the response to why we are getting managed hohappleid yet? I’ve tried everything and I have no clue I’m still not getting a reply from Apple either
Because your phone has MDM on it, as mine do too, unfortunately for us. once these people are into your system it’s spreads
Agree hundred percent I’ve done and found out all the same myself… Ive often seen “ your screen is being observed” on my Mac too 🫣
will reply on main thread w further details soon
Apple needs to come up with a solution for this I thought this was my previous employer but now after seeing multiple people with this issue I am not sure. I have also been through multiple devices.
Family account is managed by hohappleid…?
