How come my icloud does not have family sharing?

I am attempting to turn on family sharing except neither my laptop nor ipad have the "family sharing" choice in settings or in my programs. How do I add this so that I can go through the steps to family share?

Hi kathymaas33,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to start a family group. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.


Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support

Set up Family Sharing

Use these steps in iOS 8:

  1. Go to Settings > iCloud.
  2. Tap Set Up Family Sharing, then tap Get Started.
  3. Confirm that you want to be the family organizer and that you're signed in with your personal Apple ID.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Use these steps in OS X Yosemite:

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
  2. Click Set Up Family.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions.


After you set up Family Sharing, you can invite your family members to join.


Cheers,

Mario
