Stop using family sharing

I was the head of the family.

I tried to disband the family group and join a new group, but

A message popped up saying ‘family has other members’ (currently I am the only one in this group)

I went to settings and hit the disable family sharing button but nothing happened.

No matter how many times I press it, nothing happens.

It says I am still the family representative.

iPhone 12 mini, 16

Hi and welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Wondering if you just need to restart your iPhone to see the change take effect:

Disband a family group

When the family organiser turns off Family Sharing,

all family members will be removed from the group at the same time.

In iOS 16 or later:

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Tap Family.
    3. Tap your name.
    4. Tap Stop Using Family Sharing. 


All the best :-)
