Setting up Family Sharing iOS 13 and earlier

This guide is the first step when setting up your child’s iPad. Please note: If the sequence below doesn’t seem correct, you may have iOS14 installed and will need to use the iOS14 guide for Setting up Family Sharing.

Why family sharing? ➢ Family Sharing is the best way you can set up your child’s iPad. It allows you to classify you child’s

AppleID as a child’s account. ➢ You only pay for the Apps once! Share Apps amongst 6 family members. ➢ Apple (133 622) can assist you over the phone or you can arrange a time to go into your closest

Apple store, if you have any difficulties setting up Family Sharing. It is easiest to set up a child account through family sharing from a separate Apple Device (Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod) that you own, however it can be done on your child’s iPad by first signing in with your Apple ID and setting up a child account through Family Sharing using the steps below. After you complete the steps, you can then sign out of your Apple ID and sign back in with your new child’s account. Please note, if using this method make sure ‘Ask to Buy’ is disabled. For more information about family sharing visit Apple’s support page at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201088. Please NOTE: You (the parent/ guardian) must have an Apple ID. If you don’t, go to www.appleid.apple.com > Create Your Apple ID and follow the prompts. If you do not wish to use family sharing, please move on to the next document, ‘Setting up Screen Time’.

Step 1: Open Settings App on your Apple device (iPhone or iPad) if you have one, otherwise

complete these steps signed in with your account on your child’s iPad.

Select “Your name” from the left menu.

Select ‘Set Up Family Sharing’.

Step 2: Select Get Started

Step 3:

Select iTunes & App Store Purchases

Step 4:

Select Continue (a Visa or Mastercard is required)

If you have not attached a payment method to your Apple ID, this needs to be completed prior to Step 6. Step by Step guide for adding a payment method can be found at the end of this guide.



Step 5: Select Invite Family Members

Step 6:

Select ‘Create a Child Account’

Step 7:

Select ‘Next’



Step 8: Select your child’s birth date.

N.B. It is important that you enter your child’s actual birthdate in order to have access to the parental settings (e.g. Screen Time and Content and Privacy Restrictions)

Select ‘Next’

Step 9:

Select Agree to Parent Privacy Disclosure

Step 10:

If prompted, enter CVV (the 3-digit security number for the credit card you used in the payment settings), then press ‘Done’.



Step 11: Enter your Child’s name.

Select ‘Next’

Step 12:

Create an Apple ID for your child. o Please note: You can use an existing email address of yours or create a new iCloud

email address. o You cannot link to an email that is already in use for an Apple ID. o Once the Apple ID is created, the name (i.e. email address) cannot be changed.

Select ‘Next’

When the box appears, select ‘Create’



Step 13: Create Apple ID Password

o Note: Enter something memorable for both you and your child. It must have at least 1 capital letter, 1 lower case letter and 1 number. If the password is not long or complex enough, Apple may not tell you until the final step and you will need to return to this step and recomplete all following steps.

Step 14:

Enter security questions and answers o We encourage you to take a screenshot of your questions and answers so that

you don’t forget as it is case sensitive.

In iOS14, you will be asked to put in a mobile number in case you need to reset the password for this account, instead of entering security questions.



Step 15: If you have your own Apple device, slide ‘Ask to Buy’ to ‘on’ = (green).

o Note: This means that your child will not be able to make any App Store purchases without approval from the Family Sharing organiser

If you are using your account on your child’s iPad, slide ‘Ask to Buy’ to ‘off’ = (grey) o Note: If you do not have your own device to approve requests to purchase apps, you

will not be able to download any apps with this turned on.

Select ‘Next’

Step 16:

Select ‘Agree’



The following steps concern setting up Screen Time and Content Restrictions. If you wish to set these up later, choose ‘Not Now’. The 2nd and 3rd guides in this series go through how to set up Screen Time and Content restrictions after setup. Step 17:

Select ‘Continue’

Step 18:

Select an age appropriate Down Time for your child (they will not be able to use apps during this time unless given permission).

Select ‘Set Down Time’



Step 19: For App Limits - Select Social Networking, Games and Entertainment

When prompted to choose times, select 1 minute Monday to Friday at least (You may choose times that fit your families rules and expectations).

o You may choose to extend these restrictions to weekends also.

Select Set App Limit

Step 20:

Select Continue



Step 23: Create Parent Screen Time Passcode that only you know that is different to your child’s

iPad Passcode

Store this password as you will need it to set up restrictions

Step 24:

Re-enter your Parent Passcode

Congratulations, you have finished setting up your child’s Family Sharing! Next: refer to instructions on ‘Setting up your child’s iPad (General Settings)’.
