Overcome an omission from Family Sharing

1 Create a new Apple ID

In the Internet Accounts preferences pane, click the iCloud logo then Create Apple ID to make a secondary account. Follow the instructions to use an existing email address or make an iCloud.com one for your Apple ID. Write down its details.

2 Share its contacts

With the account created, select it on the left. Enable the services you want to share; for this tutorial, you only need to put a check mark next to Contacts. You might do so for other items if you don’t want to set up Family Sharing.

3 Make it the default

When you select the new account in Contacts, it’ll be empty. Copy cards from your main account to it, then delete the originals to avoid confusion. If you share most contacts, make the new account the default in the app’s General preferences.
