Apple TV+ offers a wide range of original TV shows and movies that can be enjoyed by up to six family members. Sharing Apple TV+ with family and friends is easy and can be done in a few simple steps.
Set up Family Sharing
The first step to sharing Apple TV+ with family and friends is to set up Family Sharing. Family Sharing allows up to six family members to share music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, subscriptions including iCloud+, and more, all without sharing an Apple ID. One adult in your household, known as the family organizer, invites family members to join the family group and agrees to pay for any purchases made by family members.
To set up Family Sharing, follow these steps:
- On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, then tap your name.
- Tap Family Sharing.
- Tap Add Member.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.
Share Apple TV+ with Family and Friends
Once you have set up Family Sharing, eligible subscriptions are automatically shared with your family members. If your family members can’t access a subscription, follow these steps:
- On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, then tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Scroll down and make sure that Share with Family is turned on.
- Tap the subscription that you want to share.
- If the subscription is individual or student, upgrade your subscription to a family plan.
Add Additional Apple ID Accounts
You can add multiple Apple ID accounts to the Apple TV app. After you do so, you can switch quickly between accounts. Here’s how:
- Open the Apple TV app on your smart TV or other device.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Select Accounts, then select Add New Account.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to sign in using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (with iOS 11 or later), or an Android device that supports Apple Music.
Conclusion
Sharing Apple TV+ with family and friends is a great way to enjoy Apple’s original TV shows and movies. With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share subscriptions, purchases, iCloud+, and more, all without sharing an Apple ID. Follow the steps above to set up Family Sharing and share Apple TV+ with your loved ones.
