Hey there srustom,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you have some questions about Family Sharing and your purchases. I’ll be happy to help.


When you set up Family Sharing, there is a purchase sharing option you can enable so that other members of your group can download and access purchases you made on your account at no extra charge. To learn how to set this up, review the steps in this article:


Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing
