What is Apple Family Sharing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To put it simply, Family Sharing is a new Apple subscription. Through this, you can give up to 6 different people access to a number of different subscription services. This includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News+ and Apple Arcade. Overall, this subscription will allow you to save money by paying for a single subscription at a discounted rate. As you have access to iCloud, you can also share files in a much easier way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can I get it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To sign up to Apple Family Share, you just need to go through<\/span> apple.com<\/span><\/a> and sign up. From there, you\u2019ll be asked to choose who to share your Apple subscriptions with. You\u2019ll need to invite the members you\u2019re trying to share with. Once you\u2019ve set up your account, it will automatically set up the accounts for everyone else on the share plan. You\u2019ll be able to choose what subscriptions you share with your family. It really is as simple as that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Apple Family Sharing Features?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are a number of different features you can enjoy Apple Family Sharing with. You will need to pay for these subscriptions, however, you can choose to only subscribe to the ones you like.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of these is the Apple TV+ subscription. Using this subscription, you\u2019ll get access to a huge range of films and box sets. These include some original Apple titles as well as a number of classics. There are brand new Apple original titles added to this platform each month, giving you something to look forward to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Music is possibly one of the most popular subscriptions from Apple. This gives you access to millions of songs, radio stations and podcasts all in one place. You\u2019ll be able to build your very own playlists to keep all your favourite songs in one place. Once Apple understands the type of music you\u2019re interested in, they\u2019ll recommend similar artists, albums and songs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to stay up to date with what\u2019s going on around the world, Apple News+ is perfect. When you sign up to this subscription, you\u2019ll get access to hundreds of different titles. You\u2019ll be able to enjoy cover to cover magazines and newspapers. Save your favourite titles and even get alerts when there\u2019s new news to catch up on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Arcade is a subscription which gives you access to hundreds of different games. You\u2019re able to enjoy different games with absolutely no ads, all with one subscription. If you find a few games you\u2019re really enjoying, you can actually download them. This way, you\u2019re able to play these games offline and online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
