Set up Family Sharing

Use these steps to set up Family Sharing. You can start a new family group and invite people to join, or you can join someone else’s family group.

Start a family group

Invite family members

Join a family group

Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, an iCloud storage plan, subscriptions, and more all without sharing an Apple ID. 1 You can set up an Apple ID for kids, set permissions remotely with Screen Time, and approve spending and downloads from a parent’s device with Ask to Buy. 2 You can also set up Apple Cash for a child or teen, or set them up with an Apple Watch. Learn more about what you can do with Family Sharing.

Start a family group

One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you turn on purchase sharing, you’ll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. 3

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap your name.
   
3. Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.

On your Mac

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Family Sharing.

Expanded Protections
for Children

At Apple, our goal is to create technology that empowers people and enriches their lives — while helping them stay safe. We want to help protect children from predators who use communication tools to recruit and exploit them, and limit the spread of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Apple is introducing new child safety features in three areas, developed in collaboration with child safety experts. First, new communication tools will enable parents to play a more informed role in helping their children navigate communication online. The Messages app will use on-device machine learning to warn about sensitive content, while keeping private communications unreadable by Apple.

Next, iOS and iPadOS will use new applications of cryptography to help limit the spread of CSAM online, while designing for user privacy. CSAM detection will help Apple provide valuable information to law enforcement on collections of CSAM in iCloud Photos.

Finally, updates to Siri and Search provide parents and children expanded information and help if they encounter unsafe situations. Siri and Search will also intervene when users try to search for CSAM-related topics.

These features are coming later this year in updates to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey. *

This program is ambitious, and protecting children is an important responsibility. These efforts will evolve and expand over time.

Communication safety in Messages

The Messages app will add new tools to warn children and their parents when receiving or sending sexually explicit photos.

When receiving this type of content, the photo will be blurred and the child will be warned, presented with helpful resources, and reassured it is okay if they do not want to view this photo. As an additional precaution, the child can also be told that, to make sure they are safe, their parents will get a message if they do view it. Similar protections are available if a child attempts to send sexually explicit photos. The child will be warned before the photo is sent, and the parents can receive a message if the child chooses to send it.

Messages uses on-device machine learning to analyze image attachments and determine if a photo is sexually explicit. The feature is designed so that Apple does not get access to the messages.

This feature is coming in an update later this year to accounts set up as families in iCloud for iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey. *

Messages will warn children and their parents when receiving or sending sexually explicit photos.

CSAM detection

Another important concern is the spread of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online. CSAM refers to content that depicts sexually explicit activities involving a child.

To help address this, new technology in iOS and iPadOS * will allow Apple to detect known CSAM images stored in iCloud Photos. This will enable Apple to report these instances to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC acts as a comprehensive reporting center for CSAM and works in collaboration with law enforcement agencies across the United States.

Apple’s method of detecting known CSAM is designed with user privacy in mind. Instead of scanning images in the cloud, the system performs on-device matching using a database of known CSAM image hashes provided by NCMEC and other child safety organizations. Apple further transforms this database into an unreadable set of hashes that is securely stored on users’ devices.

Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the known CSAM hashes. This matching process is powered by a cryptographic technology called private set intersection, which determines if there is a match without revealing the result. The device creates a cryptographic safety voucher that encodes the match result along with additional encrypted data about the image. This voucher is uploaded to iCloud Photos along with the image.

Using another technology called threshold secret sharing, the system ensures the contents of the safety vouchers cannot be interpreted by Apple unless the iCloud Photos account crosses a threshold of known CSAM content. The threshold is set to provide an extremely high level of accuracy and ensures less than a one in one trillion chance per year of incorrectly flagging a given account.

Only when the threshold is exceeded does the cryptographic technology allow Apple to interpret the contents of the safety vouchers associated with the matching CSAM images. Apple then manually reviews each report to confirm there is a match, disables the user’s account, and sends a report to NCMEC. If a user feels their account has been mistakenly flagged they can file an appeal to have their account reinstated.

This innovative new technology allows Apple to provide valuable and actionable information to NCMEC and law enforcement regarding the proliferation of known CSAM. And it does so while providing significant privacy benefits over existing techniques since Apple only learns about users’ photos if they have a collection of known CSAM in their iCloud Photos account. Even in these cases, Apple only learns about images that match known CSAM.

Expanding guidance in Siri and Search

Apple is also expanding guidance in Siri and Search by providing additional resources to help children and parents stay safe online and get help with unsafe situations. For example, users who ask Siri how they can report CSAM or child exploitation will be pointed to resources for where and how to file a report.

Siri and Search are also being updated to intervene when users perform searches for queries related to CSAM. These interventions will explain to users that interest in this topic is harmful and problematic, and provide resources from partners to get help with this issue.

These updates to Siri and Search are coming later this year in an update to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey. *

Siri will provide resources and help around searches related to CSAM.

We have provided more information about these features in the documents below, including technical summaries, proofs, and independent assessments of the CSAM-detection system from cryptography and machine learning experts.

Family Privacy Disclosure for Children

Protecting children is an important priority for everyone at Apple. We believe in transparency and giving parents the information they need to determine what is best for their child. We work hard to offer controls for parents that are intuitive and customizable. By creating an Apple ID for your child, you enable them to enjoy Family Sharing features with you and your other family members. Your child will be able to share music, movies, TV shows, books, applications, photos, calendars, location, and more with you and your Family. They will also be able to have their own personalized Apple ID experience using all of the services and content available to an Apple ID account holder.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS DISCLOSURE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE DATA COLLECTION PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD-PARTY APPS. PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR DOWNLOAD BY YOUR CHILD, YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE TERMS, POLICIES, AND PRACTICES OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY APPS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DATA THEY MAY COLLECT FROM YOUR CHILD AND HOW SUCH DATA MAY BE USED.

Your Child’s Apple ID

With the Apple ID you create for your child, they will be able to take advantage of the entire universe of Apple features and services that use Apple ID. For example, your child will be able to:

• Make and receive FaceTime video and voice calls.
• Create and share photos, videos, audio messages and texts using Camera, Photos, Messages, Mail, and other Apple apps.
• Create and share documents and data with other people through iCloud public and private sharing. Depending on the selected settings this may include your child’s name and contact information, if provided.
• Share their location with Family members and friends using Find My, Messages, and other apps that use Location Services, and use Find My to locate supported devices and accessories.
• Access shared calendars, which allow you and your child to share past and future scheduled events with other members of your Family.
• Access, stream and download content and subscriptions that other family members have purchased, including music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, apps and in-app purchases, books, Apple Arcade, Apple Music, Apple News+, and Apple TV+.
• Make purchases and download free content in Apple Music, App Store, and Apple Books Store; make in-app purchases; and subscribe to Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple TV+, and Apple Music, all subject to the Ask to Buy settings you set.
• Receive recommendations in Apple Music.
• Enroll and participate in iTunes U courses.
• Play games and interact with other users using Game Center and share information with others, including your child’s Game Center nickname, avatar, and friends.
• Make and receive payments using Apple Pay services like Transit and Apple Cash if you set up their accounts, and keep and use passes like tickets and boarding passes in the Wallet app.
• Track and share health information, such as heart rate, blood pressure or nutrition, and fitness and activity data. If they use an Apple Watch, they can choose to share their workout and activity data with other Apple Watch users through Activity Sharing, including details such as steps and distance covered in a day. If they use the Health app, they can also start to share certain health information with other Health app users in their Contacts through Health Sharing, including a subset of their historical health data and future updates relating to the data your child shares. Your child can still maintain a sharing relationship with another Health app user after that user has been deleted from their Contacts.
• Store photos, videos, documents, notes, contacts, calendars, mail, backups, and other app data, including Apple Arcade game play activity, in iCloud.

Your child can also access features and services that don’t require an Apple ID such as accessing and searching the internet and internet resources through Safari and Siri Search, and using Siri to ask questions and complete tasks.

In addition to these examples, additional features may be added when we release software updates; we encourage you to read the notes and terms associated with such releases prior to your child downloading updates onto their devices.

Controls for Parents

Family Sharing enables you to seamlessly share the content you choose with your Family. However, there may be times when you want to limit your child’s access to certain types of content or resources available to the rest of the Family. To help you manage your child’s access to Apple ID services and features, we offer a few different sets of controls for parents. These include Screen Time, Restrictions, and Family Sharing’s Ask to Buy feature. Controls for spending and receipt of funds using Apple Pay services like Apple Cash are available in Wallet.

Screen Time

If you and your child are using iOS 12 or later, iPadOS, or macOS, you can use the Screen Time feature to set limits on your child’s use across any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS devices where they are signed in. This includes setting specific hours where screen time is not allowed; limiting access to certain features, apps, or categories of apps; and setting age-based content restrictions for movies, music, books, and other content.

If you are using Family Setup and have enabled Schooltime, you have the ability to determine when use of certain features of the Apple Watch by your family members will be restricted. If your family member unlocks their watch during Schooltime, you can view unlocks in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. This information is sent to Apple end-to-end encrypted, but will be tied to your Apple ID solely to allow Apple to provide information about unlocks.

Restrictions

If you or your child are using a version of iOS earlier than iOS 12, you can set restrictions for your child on any iOS or iPadOS device they use by going to Settings > General > Restrictions or, on a Mac, by going to System Preferences > Parental Controls. Using these settings, you can limit features such as FaceTime, Camera, and Safari, multiplayer gaming and certain social media apps, and also designate content appropriate for your child. This is an important step in managing your child’s activity on Apple devices. These restrictions and parental controls should be set on each device your child uses.

Family Sharing and Ask to Buy

Family Sharing allows you to share purchases, subscriptions, and more with up to five other family members that you designate via their Apple IDs. Ask to Buy is a feature of Family Sharing that allows you to review and approve downloads and purchases requested by your child, including in-app purchases, on the App Store, or otherwise using iTunes. Ask to Buy is enabled automatically for any users under 13 (or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction) who are added to a Family. If you choose to turn off Ask to Buy for your child, you will receive information about purchases, including in-app purchases, only through the App Store or otherwise using iTunes in the emailed receipt (sent 24–72 hours after purchase) or on your credit card bill.

Note that apps purchased through our Volume Purchase Plan, re-downloaded, or downloaded with a redemption code may not be subject to Ask to Buy restrictions.

Creating Your Child’s Apple ID

In order to create an Apple ID for your child, we must first obtain your consent to this Family Privacy Disclosure for Children (“Disclosure”) and to Apple’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If there is a conflict between Apple’s Privacy Policy and this Disclosure, the terms of this Disclosure shall take precedence.

In order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws in other jurisdictions, where applicable, that govern the online collection of data from children, Apple may take additional steps to help verify that the user granting permission for the creation of a child’s Apple ID is their parent or legal guardian. Accordingly, in these jurisdictions, you may be asked to verify your current iTunes, iCloud, or Apple Store payment method. Depending on the payment method, this can be done using the security code from your credit card or similar verification method.

We ask for this so that we can verify your identity as the Family Organizer and then obtain your consent to the collection of personal information from your child.

We will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose any personal information from your child without your verifiable parental consent unless a COPPA exception applies. Once you have reviewed this Disclosure and Apple’s Privacy Policy and provided verifiable parental consent, you will be able to create an Apple ID for your child. Your child will be able to use their Apple ID to access Apple features and services that use Apple ID, except those you have restricted in Screen Time or Restrictions. However, your child’s account cannot be removed from your Family, unless their Apple ID is deleted, they turn 13 years of age (or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction), or you transfer them to another Family. Once your child reaches the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction), they will be permitted to maintain their account without participating in Family Sharing.

Collection of Information

As part of the process of creating an Apple ID for your child, we will ask you to provide information required to create an account which may include your child’s full name, date of birth, a password, answers to three security questions, a phone number, and a country of residence.

We may collect other information from your child that in some cases has been defined under COPPA as personal information. For example, when your child is signed in with their Apple ID, we may collect things like device identifiers, cookies, IP addresses, and the geographic locations and time zones in which their Apple device is used. We also may collect information about your child’s activities and interactions on our websites, apps, products, and services, including content provided by third-party developers.

Use of Information

As set forth in Apple’s Privacy Policy, Apple may use your child’s information to communicate important notices and send information, product and service information and notifications, provide services and content, and improve our products, content, and services. We may also use their information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research.

We may use, transfer and disclose non-personal information (data that does not, on its own, permit direct association with your child’s identity) for any purpose. For example, we may aggregate and use information regarding customer activities on our website, iCloud services, and iTunes Store, and from our other products and services, to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information.

The Personalized Ads setting is off and cannot be enabled for a child’s Apple ID. Your child will not receive advertising targeted to their interests from Apple’s advertising platform on devices associated with a child’s Apple ID. However, your child will still be able to receive non-targeted (that is, contextual) advertising on those devices. In addition, the Allow Apps to Ask to Track setting will be disabled and cannot be enabled. Apps and advertisers will be restricted from accessing the Advertising Identifier provided by the operating system, and are also responsible for complying with Apple’s guidelines prohibiting them from engaging in targeted advertising or advertising measurement, or sharing information with data brokers.

Disclosure to Third Parties

Using their Apple ID and subject to your restrictions, your child may share information with others depending on the Apple features and services (such as those described above) that they use.

Family Sharing

As part of Family Sharing, your child’s information including their past and future purchases in the App Store or through iTunes may be shared with members of your Family. Subject to the restrictions you set, your child may also choose to share their information with members of your Family through iCloud Photo Sharing, shared calendars and reminders, Find My, and location sharing.

Additionally, if your child uses their Apple ID to sign in on a device that is owned by a third party (such as a friend’s or a school’s iPad), your child’s information, as well as the shared information of other members of your Family, may be downloaded and visible to others using that device, unless and until your child’s Apple ID is signed out of that device.

Strategic Partners

At times, Apple may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with Apple to provide products and services, or that help Apple market to customers. Personal information from your child will only be shared by Apple to provide or improve our products and services; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Service Providers

Apple shares personal information with companies that provide services such as information processing, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you or your child, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your or your child’s interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your child’s information and may be located wherever Apple operates.

Others

If you choose to enable an Apple Cash account for your child, their information will be shared with Apple’s partner bank, Green Dot Bank, to provide you the service you have requested.

It may be necessary — for example, because of the law, legal process, litigation, and requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence — for Apple to disclose your or your child’s personal information. We may also disclose personal information about you or your child if we determine that, for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose personal information about you or your child if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger or sale, we may transfer any and all personal information that we have collected to the relevant third party.

Access, Correction and Deletion
