Sharing subscription with other members

Updated over a week ago

Yes! You can share your app subscription with other family members using Family Sharing on iOS.

Step 1: Set up Family Sharing

If you haven’t set up Family Sharing yet, follow these steps:

  1. Open the "Settings" on your iPhone.

  2. Tap your "Apple ID" on top.

  3. Tap "Family".

  4. Select "Set Up Your Family" and follow the on-screen instructions to invite members. You can add up to 5 people.

Step 2: Share your subscription

Once Family Sharing is set up:

  1. Go to "Settings" and tap "Family".

  2. Tap "Subscriptions" > tap "Manage Your Subscriptions".

  3. Ensure the Share with Family toggle is on.

  4. Tap our app subscription and make sure its toggle is also on.

Step 3: How family members access the shared subscription

Once you’ve shared your subscription through Family Sharing, each invited member can use it like this:

  1. Accept the Family Sharing invitation from their Apple ID.

  2. Open the App Store on their device and download the app.

  3. Make sure they are signed in with their own Apple ID (the one added to your Family group).

  4. Open the app — the Plus features will unlock automatically without needing to purchase anything.

  5. If access doesn’t appear right away, open the app, tap any paid feature, and choose "Restore" in the top-right corner to refresh the subscription. Now all invited family members will have access to your subscription and can enjoy using it!
