Share purchases with family members on iPad

With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books purchases, an Apple Music family membership, and an iCloud storage plan. (See the Apple Support article Family Sharing.)

When your family shares iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books purchases, all items are billed directly to the family organizer’s Apple ID account. Once purchased, an item is added to the initiating family member’s account and eligible purchases are shared with the rest of the family.
