Good afternoon Kfirm97,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you are the organizer of a Family Sharing account and a person you invited to join your Apple Music Family membership is still showing an individual account. Take a look at the resource below and the instructions for changing from an individual account to an existing family. I've highlighted some key information here for you. Click on the link for complete details.
Manage your Apple Music subscription on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV

Join an existing Family

If you're already part of a Family Sharing group that has an Apple Music Family subscription, you don't need to do anything to join.

If you have an Apple Music Individual subscription and want to join an existing Family that you're not already a part of, follow these steps:

  1. Ask the organizer of the Family to invite you to join their family group.
  2. Accept the invitation to join the group.
  3. After you accept the invitation, open the Apple Music app and check to make sure that you're a part of the group: Tap For You, then the profile icon User uploaded file or your photo. Look for Manage Family Membership under "Find More Artists and Curators."

When you join a Family subscription, your Individual subscription will cancel at the end of the next billing cycle. If you want to restart your Individual subscription later, you can change back.

Happy Holidays!
