Child Apple ID

If I set up a child Apple ID to use in my family group, later when he is older than 18 years, can he later use the same Apple ID independently as his own account, without being in the family group?

Yes.


The child account will be able to leave the family group when it is a teen account.


when it is over 18 it will be a completely normal account.


The age depends by country
