iPad Training for Families
Managing Accounts with Family Sharing
Many years ago Apple recommended that children under the age of 18 use their parents' Apple IDs to buy and download music, movies, apps, and books. This meant that the purchases the child made would be tied to their parents' account and couldn't be transferred to their own Apple ID later. That changed when Apple introduced the ability for parents to create Apple IDs for their children. These separate accounts allow kids to download content while parents monitor and control that activity.
Through Family Sharing the Ask to Buy feature is enabled by default. With Ask to Buy and Family Sharing, whenever a child initiates a new purchase or free download, a request goes to the family organiser. The organiser can review the item and approve the purchase or decline the request right from their own iPhone or iPad, or even on the childs device itself using a password.
If the family organiser approves the purchase, the content downloads automatically to their family member’s device. If they decline, no purchase or download will take place.
Creating an Apple ID for your child also allows their device to be separate from other family members devices. Content, messages, photos etc won't be synced to each device as what happens sometimes when students are signed in with a parents or siblings Apple ID.
