I want to join a new family group but I am currently the organiser of another group, but I’m the only member. When I select stop using family sharing I get a pop up offering me a choice to stop or cancel. I select Stop using family sharing, however nothing is happening and I am still unable to join the new family group. I get a message telling me family has other members???
Wondering what happened when you tried ... eg error message ?

In the article below, try scrolling down to browse through:
"What happens when you stop sharing?"

See if the below method works for you.

"Disband a family group
When the family organiser turns off Family Sharing, all family members will be removed from the group at the same time. Before you can stop Family Sharing, you must transfer children under 13* to another family.

See if Apple support's article: Manage Family Sharing settings - Apple Support can help you.

To join a new family group, you may need to reply to an invitation from the organiser.

@brbo thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, even replying to the invite did not work and my attempts to stop family sharing using the steps listed in manage family sharing settings don’t work. Thanks anyway, appreciated.
