Q: Music playlist in family sharing

I am thinking about setting up family membership for imusic for me and my girlfriend. As part of family membership,  will the playlists i create, artists followed etc all be shared with my girlfriend? Or will they be separate?

If shared, is there a way of separating so I have my own music that's not shared with others on the family sharing account?

 

Thanks!

    Hello Swmorgan88,

     

     

    I understand that you're curious about the functionality of the Apple Music Family membership and what information will be shared between accounts. When in a family group with Family Sharing (which is necessary for setting up an Apple Music Family membership), there are a number of items that CAN be shared, but which are not shared between accounts unless done so intentionally, as well as certain things that can't be shared. The articles linked below that provide more information that'll hopefully shed enough light on the question to make a well informed decision!

    Consider a Family membership

    With a Family membership to Apple Music, families of up to six people can enjoy all of the benefits of Apple Music, each with their own library.

    To use a Family membership, you first need to set up Family Sharing. Then, when you join Apple Music, choose a Family membership. When your family members join Apple Music, they need to use the same Apple ID that they used to join Family Sharing. After they join Apple Music and sign in with their Apple ID, they'll automatically be added to your Family membership.

    You can also change to a Family membership after you join.

     

     

    Sincerely
