How can I add my 7th family member to my Family Sharing?

My family has more than 6 members, I was told that the limit is 6. I have been an apple loyal customer for almost 15 years. I can't believe apple doesn't support large families like mine!!!

Other platforms have the same limit of 6, but charge extra for additional family members. If you think that is a better approach let them know that too.


To deal with the limit of 6 will depend on your family.

  • Some users have a different adult as an Organizer for a plan that covers a subset of the family.
  • While it is not recommended to share an Apple ID, it may be beneficial for younger family members as then they would only be counted as 1 family member. You would want to shut off iCloud features that share data such as Messages and Calls, and also want to unshare them as soon as possible so when they grow up they will be able to have their own independent data.
