Add Member on Family Sharing button not working

I am running iOS 16.1 on an iPhone 12 max. I’m trying to add another family member to my family sharing and when I get to the part and click on the blue add button, it brings up a screen with a spinning wheel, which stays on for a couple of seconds and then disappears putting me back to the add family screen.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello GISMapLady,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities.


We'd like to provide you with a few steps that help to resolve the issue that you're having when trying to add someone to your Family Sharing group:


  1. Restart your iPhone. This may seem like a simple step to take but can often resolve several minor issues.
  2. Update your iPhone. You mentioned that your were running iOS 16.1. The latest compatible version is iOS 16.3. Completing this step ensures that your device has the latest fixes. (Secure your data with a backup)


Let us know if this helps.

Stay safe and well!
