Family Sharing for family of 7

Hi. Does anyone know a way to work around the 6 person limit for the family sharing with apple? I was trying to create an apple id and add my youngest child to our family sharing plan so I could use the screen time function to limit activity and to share media purchases between all of our kids. Apparently, Apple doesnt like families with more than 4 children. Having two children sharing an apple id is a pain when trying to message one another and to track device usage. I would have to create a separate adult apple id just to add my youngest as another child account. That would mean I need 9 apple ids for 7 of us in the family. I spent thousands of dollars on media through apple over the past couple years. I would need to rebuy everything i've already bought in order for the child not allowed in my family sharing plan to be able to access them as well.

Hi goingape,


At this time, there isn't a way to add additional family members to the Family Sharing group for more than 6. If you'd like to see this change in the future, we encourage you to submit Product Feedback.


All the best.
