I have two people wanting to listen to Apple Music. Do I need the family plan or will the individual link to both phone since we are on the same account
null-OTHER, Apple Music
If you are sharing an Apple ID (which should not be done, for many reasons), Apple Music will work on up to 10 devices using that Apple ID, but not at the same time.
i.e only one device can play music from Apple Music at any one time. If Another device starts playing music, the previous one will stop playing.
Each person should have their own Apple ID. They should not for any reason be shared. This can lead to messages, calls and contacts be merged and be a nightmare to sort. As well as having iCloud contents getting mixed up.
To use the Apple Music Family Plan, each family group member must have their own Apple ID. Then you can play on more than one device at a time as long as each device is logged in to a different Apple ID.

If both use the same Apple ID then everything associated with that ID will appear on both phones. Do they want to see each other's e-mails?

If you are using an individual account, only one of you will be able to listen at a time.
If I have two people wanting to listen on the same account do I need the family package? Or will the individual link up to both phones?
