Family member cannot accept invitation to join home

8 months after being told there was a bug they were fixing, I still cannot add my wife to my Home App.

I can invite, but when she tries to accept it (eventually) fails and messes up the appleid settings for me by using her appleid for iCloud and mine for media.

Support sent me a new home profile for my, and my wife’s phones and after installing those I could start from scratch and all worked as intended - finally!

Apparently our two appleids were using the same “control” number?

This is happening to me too! My husband and I have different apple IDs but are in a family together. When he tries to invite me to his home my phone says I can’t accept the invitation and then it changes the name and Apple ID listed on his home to be my info until we restart the app. It is very odd.
