Sharing TV+ but not iCloud+
Q My partner has a new iPad. Can she share my Apple TV+ subscription without using my iCloud storage? by TONY WILLIAMS
A Family Sharing offers many options, and when set up carefully can provide family members with just the shared services you want them to enjoy.
The first step is to create your family group in Settings. Tap your name at the top, then Family Sharing, and Set Up Your Family following the instructions. In the course of those, you’ll be prompted to send your partner an invitation to join your family group, starting the next step in the process.
You can always add others later by tapping the Add Member icon at the top right of Family in Settings. There are limits imposed on family membership; each Apple ID can be a member of only one family group at a time, and can only switch between different family groups once each year at most.
When your partner has been added to your group, the Family section in Settings shows what they can access and share, and gives you, as the Organiser, control over those settings. To share any of your existing subscriptions, in Settings > Family, tap Subscriptions, where those available for sharing are listed.
Tap Apple TV+ to enable your partner to share that subscription, and they’ll be sent an invitation. Once they’ve accepted, it will unlock Apple
TV+ access on their iPad. Sharing iCloud storage is controlled separately through the same Subscriptions section, and requires an iCloud+ subscription. As you’re the Organiser, only you can offer that, similarly with Purchase and Location sharing.
