Family Sharing Details

have a Family Sharing set up and pay to 2TB of storage. I want to have photos taken on all four members go into one Library. This way no one loses photos taken on the iPhones. Is this possible or is it just used for backups?


Currently the other three have to plug in their iPhones to import photos to Library. I thought Family Sharing was 'Family Sharing' and we could choose what we wanted to share. It seems Family Sharing is device backup and shared purchases only?


Also, I would like an option to not allow my children to use my Credit Card. Kicked one off for that reason.

Not a feature of Family Sharing. There is one shared album that can be used.

If you disable purchase sharing, this will happen. This makes Family Sharing just for iCloud Storage.


If your family members redeem iTunes Gift Cards to their account, your card won't be charged until that balance is used.
