How to share an Apple Music subscription from your iPhone or iPad?
Apple Music is a popular streaming service and thankfully, you can share your account with others. You can easily share your subscription by adding friends or family members to your Family Sharing group. Apple Music’s Family Sharing allows up to six people to listen to music with one subscription.
It’s important to note that if you’ve already set up Family Sharing on your iPhone or iPad, everyone added will automatically have access to the shared Apple Music plan along with apps and more. You can set up a Family Sharing group on your iPhone or iPad, as well as your desktop.
If you’re signing up for Apple Music for the first time, here’s how to sign up for the Family Plan.
1. Open the Music app on your iPhone or iPad, and tap “For You” at the bottom of the screen.
2. On the page that opens, tap the red “Try It Now” button.
3. Select “Family,” and then tap “Start Trial.” You’ll be asked to sign in with your Apple ID, or using Face or Touch ID, and you might have to add a payment method.
If you already have a subscription, or if you haven’t already done it, you’ll have to turn on Family Sharing.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, and then tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID profile.
2. On this screen, tap “Set Up Family Sharing.” In the pop-up that appears, tap “Get Started” to continue, or “Learn more about Family Sharing” for more information.
3. You’ll be presented with a number of ways to use Family Sharing. Tap “Apple Music.”
4. Your device will check that you’re signed up for a Family Plan if you aren’t, you’ll be redirected back to the Music app to sign up for one. If you’re signed up, tap the red “Invite via Messages” button.
5. This will open a text message conversation, where you can send the Family Plan invitation to anyone with an Apple ID.
As soon as they open the invitation, they’ll be added to your account. You can add up to six people to the account, including yourself.
