Apple One Family Sharing

 

Hello everyone,
Been doing a little research as we try to consolidate services and cut back on expenses. My husband and I have been using iCloud+ storage, Apple TV and Apple Music under separate iCloud accounts. In doing the math, it may save us a few pennies and give us a boatload more storage going with the Apple One Premium plan. Most likely I will set my account as the main account and then invite him to join. Just curious if anyone in the group is using Apple One and Family Sharing and what you like/don't like about it before we take the plunge. It's just the 2 of us that would be utilizing the service.
Thanks!
Beth

Beth, I steer clear of the family account as I use my account for a boatload of work, my wife isn¡¯t versed in Tech things so I didn¡¯t want to take a chance of something of importance being harmed, not much chance of it but just in case I¡¯m keeping our accounts separate.?

I have been using Apple One since its inception with Family Sharing, and I really enjoy it. Keep in mind that there is one credit card on file... So all purchases go on that credit card. For instance when my son wants to buy an app, it goes on my card. When my ex-wife wanted to do a Yoga app that costs $69.00 a month¡­that also went on my card ?? The accounts are not ¡°blended¡± in any way¡­but each ¡°purchase" that each participant has purchased in the past is sharable between all Family members. Movies/Music/Apps/Some subscriptions. Etc. Hope that helps

Wyman?

Hi Wyman,

The single credit card requirement shouldn't be a problem for us. It's just the 2 of us and hubby is pretty good about checking before he makes major purchases. (Mostly) ?
We are still looking into it, mainly because I just haven't had time to sit down and get everything updated and ready to make the transition. Need a few more hours in the day.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.?
