How to Share Subscriptions with Your Family on Apple & Google

Why pay for separate subscriptions for each person? Both Apple and Google let you share subscriptions with up to 6 family members from one account — saving everyone money.

Apple Family Sharing

What's shared:

• Eligible subscriptions: Apple Music (family plan), Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, and Apple One Family.
• App Store purchases (when Purchase Sharing is enabled).
• iCloud storage — 200 GB and 2 TB plans are shared with the family group.

How to set it up:

1. Open Settings → tap your name → Family Sharing → Add Family Member.
2. Send an invite via the member's Apple ID.

Google Play Family Library

What's shared:

• Most paid apps and games — but in-app monthly subscriptions are generally not included.

How to set it up:

• Open Google Play → tap your account → Family Library → follow the setup steps and invite family members.

Key notes

• Not every subscription is eligible for sharing — check inside the app.
• Apple One Family is the smartest choice for Apple families using multiple services.
• Each member needs their own Apple ID or Google Account.
