This was my original thought when Family Sharing was introduced. I guess I can understand the not seeing other people's purchases, but if I'm going to be paying for it anyway... That and this way, there aren't issues with in app purchases that may need to be bought repeatedly. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

Hi there the kind of set up you have is basically what I have done with my children. My own Apple ID is what has been used to purchase apps. So for all intents and purposes, their devices are my devices. They have their own Apple IDs for things like iCloud face time and messages so that those will be individual to them. Because of doing it like this for many years, this new family and friends sharing feature of iOS 8 is nothing really new to me. I don't see what the difference is when compared to what people are already doing like what I described and like what you described. > On Oct 1, 2014, at 12:17 PM, Cristóbal <crismuno...@gmail.com> wrote: > > A question I have is my wife and I have multiple I-devices.
