Family Sharing broken on ios 17 After installing iOS 17.0.1 a few hours ago on my iPhone 14, my wife can no longer access my shared Apple News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions on her iPhone 6s plus. In Settings on both iPhones, Family Sharing is properly configured and enabled. I've restarted both phones multiple times. I've deleted and re-added the iPhone 6 from the "Family". Still the iPhone 6 does not recognize the shared News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions. The shared iCloud storage however is working on the iPhone 6. Looks like a bug in iOS 17. Any suggestions?

Maybe you still need to add your son to your Family sharing subscriptions ?

How to: Add a family member to your shared subscriptions - Apple Support

For your son: If the movies are not older items that could no longer be available in the Apple TV app

What to do: If you can't find your family's shared content - Apple Support

My son is part of my family sharing.

The problem was solved by him signing out of Media & Purchases and signing back in.
