Hello all
I am trying to get Family Sharing going. My sister says she is the organizer
and sent me an invite. Below is all I have recently gotten from Apple and it
says absolutely nothing about it’s being an invite.
When I got to Settings and I Cloud it has me listed as the
organizer. It wants me to click on the button to share my purchases with
whatever family member I guess I have to write in. Meanwhile, my sister thinks
she has already set this up at her end. Also she is the one with downloads I
might want to share whereas I have nothing she doesn’t already have and I don’t
intend to be downloading much right off.
Ok I see below that it says to visit the purchase page. I will
try that and see if that gets me where I want and if my sister’s name is in
there. Still I am uncomfortable with it having me listed as the organizer. How
can I get rid of that?
Also, must this be done on the computer and not from the phone? If
so I have to download Safari which I didn’t really want to bother with.
