Q: iCloud child account keep separate from parent?
After upgrading to an iPhone 7, I want to give my iPhone 6 to my daughter. I created an iCloud child account for her on our family plan. That basic part seems to work, but many things aren't working so well and I'm not sure if it's my lack of understanding or a box I forgot to toggle.
I want her to have a unique FaceTime, iMessage, Game Center (optional) and iTune Music. Right now all of these are using the primary account - mine. My primary issue - I'd much rather her classmates user her Apple ID for Messages and Facetime. Also, Facetime doesn't even appear to be working. Second problem is that my iTunes cloud library is in her Music app.
Is there a way to do this with a child account? Or do I have to lie and create a real account for her?
