Q: Apple Music and sharing

I have an Apple Music Family Account. I have two sons, each with their own iPhone on the account. When one of them adds music to his phone it stays only on his phone. I like this.

 

When the other son adds music to his phone it automatically adds to my phone and iTunes. His music *****! I want to keep his music on his phone from automatically adding to my phone and iTunes.

 

How can I change the second phone to only add to that phone and not with my phone and iTunes?

    Hello grpaul349,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see that you are seeing the music content from one of your sons accounts. It sounds like one of your sons has selected not to share their content and the other has. If you no longer want to see their content, you can get him to quit sharing, see the following:

    Make sure that Share My Purchases is on

    If anyone in your family chose not to share their iTunes Store content, then you can't see their content. Your family members can check their settings on their device:

    • On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, they can tap Settings > iCloud > Family. Then they can tap their name to see if Share My Purchases is on or off.
    • On a Mac, they can go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family, then click their name.

    If you don‘t see your family‘s shared content

     

    Best regards.
