Family Sharing setup

I am frustrated with setting up my Family Sharing. It takes me to the credit card required page, Go to Settings. I have all of that set up. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,

Hello malamb,


To make sure we are on the same page, you will want to make sure you have accredit card on file when you first set it up and not a debit card. Don’t worry though, you can change it back to that card. The reason is if you are also setting up an Apple ID for a child, the CVV or security code is there to validate consent as part of child online privacy laws. Take a look at the articles below for more details.
