Q: iTunes Recently Added and family sharing

I'm using family sharing on Iphone and also have a family account to iMusic.

When I add albums or songs or what have you to MyMusic that works fine, and they sync to the Pad and Mac fine but my problem is they don't appear on my wife's iPhone. Why should this be? Surely if we're both part of the family iMusic anything that is added appears for all in the group, seen as they're in the iTunes library?? The pad and Mac are signed in as me, as family administrator so it would seem the only difference would be that my wife will be signed in on her apple id, but again, she's linked via family sharing and family iMusic???

Any help greatly appreciated!

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

    Hello Shreddy01,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I see you have some questions about Family Sharing and Apple Music.  When using Apple Music with members in your Family Sharing network, each member will have their own Apple Music Library.

     

    Each member gets unlimited access to the entire Apple Music catalog, music recommendations tailored to their personal music tastes, and access to their own iCloud Music Library, which makes it possible for them to listen to their music on all of their favorite devices.

    Apple Music and Family Sharing

     

    Cheers.

    Download content from family members

    After you join a family, you can see and download items from each family member’s purchase history, and enjoy them on your own devices. You can download music, movies, TV shows, and books on up to 10 of your devices, five of which can be computers. You can download apps to any devices that you own or control.

    Use these steps to see and download your family member's content.

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Open the store app that you want to download content from, and go to the purchased page:
      • App Store: Tap Updates > Purchased.
      • iTunes Store: Tap More > Purchased.
      • iBooks: Tap Purchased.
    2. Tap the family member's name to see their content. Learn what to do if you don’t see any content or can’t tap your family member.
    3. To download an item, tap the download icon next to it.
