Use iCloud+ with your family
With Family Sharing, everyone in your Family Sharing group can share an iCloud+ plan, including premium features and all the storage you need with a single subscription.
Share an iCloud+ subscription
Before getting started, make sure you’ve set up a Family Sharing group. See the Apple Support article Set up Family Sharing.
Do any of the following:
On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Family. Tap Subscriptions, tap iCloud+, then follow the onscreen instructions.
On your Mac: Choose Apple menu
> System Settings, then click Family in the sidebar. Click Subscriptions, click iCloud+, then click Share with Family.
If you don’t see Family as an option, make sure you’re signed in to your Apple Account.
iCloud+ premium features
When you use iCloud+ with your family, you can do the following:
Share 50 GB, 200 GB, 2 TB, 6 TB, or 12 TB of storage, so everyone has enough space for their photos, documents, and iOS and iPadOS backups.
Protect everyone’s Safari browsing with Private Relay and personal email addresses with Hide My Email.
Add a custom email domain to use with with iCloud Mail. Each family member can create up to three active email addresses.
Use HomeKit Secure Video to add home security cameras to the Home app. Store your footage and view it from anywhere.
Additional ways you can share with iCloud
You can also use iCloud to do the following:
Use iCloud Shared Photo Library to share photos and videos.
Use iCloud Drive to share files or collaborate on documents.
Create a shared calendar and add important family events.
Use Reminders to create a shared shopping or to-do list.
Share locations so you can find family members on a map and locate lost devices.
Note: Not all iCloud+ features are available in all countries or regions. Some iCloud features have minimum system requirements. See the Apple Support article System requirements for iCloud.
