Family Sharing

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to invite a family member (the 5th) but the request has not been sent, also I can't invite him personally with his apple ID and password. He has an android device.

How can this be solved?

Thanks a lot!

Lidar.

Hey Lidarh


In order to add someone with an Android device, they would need to have the Apple Music device on their device. See the rest of the steps below:


  1. "Download the Apple Music app from Google Play to your Android device.
  2. On your Android device, open the email invitation to join Family Sharing.
  3. Tap the link in the email invitation.
  4. In the "Open with" screen, tap Apple Music.
  5. Tap Accept.
  6. Sign in with your Apple ID and password."


Here's more information regarding Family Sharing using an Android: Use Family Sharing with Apple Music on Android.


Take care.

Hi Sheree_P,

Thanks for your answer!


He downloaded the Apple Music app, the thing is that I can’t send him an invitation in SMS neither in person. I don’t understand why because he already has an active user…


When I try to invite him in person I fill his Apple ID and password there is an error although all the details are correct: “Verification failed. Error description not available”.

He tried to change his password but the problem still happens.
