This article will explain how to set up and join Apple Music Family Sharing. You will also get an extra tip to share Apple Music without Family Sharing.
With Apple's Family Sharing, you can bring your loved ones closer together through shared access to a variety of Apple services. Whether it's iCloud+ for secure storage, Apple Music for the latest tunes, or Apple Fitness+ for staying active, each family member can customize their experience without any interference.
This means that preferences and recommendations won't be mixed up, allowing everyone to enjoy their own content simultaneously. Additionally, purchase sharing enables seamless access to movies, TV shows, music, and more. So, go ahead and keep your family connected with Apple's Family Sharing.
The good news is that the Family Sharing feature is completely free to use! Everyone in the group can benefit from the convenience and flexibility of shared apps and Apple services.
But if you (the organizer) have shared some paid-for services, you'll have to pay for the corresponding subscription plan. For example, to share Apple Music with others, you'll need to pay for the family subscription. Of course, you can join the Apple One Premier Plan ($32.95/mo.) to bring all of paid Apple’s services to your family.
