How to share an Apple TV+ subscription with your family
One of the great things about having an subscription to Apple’s services is that you can share them with your family free of charge.
You can share with up to five people whether you have a subscription to iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, or Apple Arcade, getting access to eligible content. And as each family member has their own account, each person’s experience stays private and personalised to them.
