I have set up family sharing on my iPad to share my subscription to Apple News plus with my my husband (older Mac laptop). When he tries to access it it wants to charge a new subscription. What are we doing wrong?

Hi joanran,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "share my subscription to Apple News plus with my my husband" 

Apple support have articles online (links below) that may help:

Eg: What types of content can I share with my family? – Apple Support (AU)

says Apple News+ is a subscription that you can share:

How to: Share Apple and App Store subscriptions with family members on iPad

says:

"Share Apple subscriptions

1. 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing.
   2. Tap Subscriptions, then:

Tap a subscription you want to share, then follow the onscreen instructions".
