Sharing only Apple News from Apple One subscription

I have an Apple One subscription that I share with my wife. She would like me to share the Apple News portion of our subscription with her sister. When I create the invitation for my sister-in-law to join the family group it does not give me an option to limit sharing to only Apple News. Is it possible to limit family members to specific features or must it be everything or nothing?

Joining Family Sharing shares all of what Family Sharing shares; it’s far more than just Apple News subscription.


If you don’t want ~everything usually shared including iCloud storage and calendars (and subscriptions), you’ll need to pay for just Apple News. There’s no means to pick or choose which subscriptions or purchases are shared.
