How to Set Up Apple Family Sharing
Before you can share Apple TV+ with any members of your family, you first need to set up Apple Family Sharing. It’s a simple process. You’ll find the option in your settings on an iPhone or an iPad, or you can access them on a Mac from the Apple menu > System Preferences > Family Sharing. In either setup method, you’ll need to agree to be the person who is responsible for any purchases made by shared family members. This means providing your credit card information (if you haven’t already provided it; if you did, then you’ll need to confirm it). You’ll also need to invite family members to your sharing group.
How to Share Apple TV+ With Family Members
Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, then you can begin to share different Apple services, including Apple TV+, with members of your Family Group. During the initial setup process, you had to select at least one program to share with family members. If you only have Apple TV, or if you selected Apple TV as the option to share, then there’s nothing more you need to do. Your family members should automatically have access to your Apple TV+ channel. If you selected a different service, you can still share Apple TV+ using the steps below.
Share Apple TV+ From an iOS Device
Once you’ve signed up for Apple Family Sharing, if you have your iPhone or iPad available, you can enable Apple TV+ sharing from that device.
Share Apple TV+ From a macOS Computer
You can also share Apple TV+ from your macOS computer if that’s the device you happen to have nearby or if you were using it to setup Family Sharing.
