From Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support:


Invite people to join your family

If you haven't already, you can create an Apple ID for a child and add them to your group. If your family member already has an Apple ID, follow the steps below to add someone to your family group. You can only be a part of one family at a time.

If your family member is with you, they can enter their Apple ID password on your device to accept the invitation. You can also send them an invitation and they can accept it from their device.


On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
  3. Tap Add Member.
  4. Enter your family member's name or email address and follow the onscreen instructions.
  5. Choose whether you’d like to send an invitation by Messages or to invite them in person. Then follow the onscreen instructions.



What happens when you try? Note family members must use the same regional store.
