How do I share my Apple Music subscription with family?

I purchased a new iPad which was setup at the store, and I have a separate Apple ID. I just want to share my apple music subscription from my iPhone to my wife's iPhone as well as my iPad. I updated my subscription to the family sharing plan already. How do I proceed?

I just want to share my apple music subscription from my iPhone to my wife's iPhone as well as my iPad."


First, to share your Music between your iPhone and iPad:

Join Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC - Apple Support

Eg: says:

How to listen to Apple Music on all of your devices

"After you’ve subscribed, sign in to your other devices with your Apple ID to access Apple Music. Just follow the steps below for your device. And if you want to access your music library across your devices, learn how to turn on Sync Library.

On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android device

  1. Open the Apple Music app and tap Home.
  2. In the upper-right corner, tap the photo icon.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password."

If you haven't already: See how to: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support

Eg: says:

One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. If purchase sharing is turned on, the family organizer pays for family members' purchases and must have a valid payment method on file. (Accepted forms of payment vary by country or region).


On your iPhone or iPad

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap your name.
  3. Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.


Your wife will get the invitation by email or in a text message, and can respond right from the invitation.


Share Apple and App Store subscriptions with family members on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says: "With a family subscription:

each family member gets their own music library and personal recommendations".

_________________________________________________________________________________

"You can choose which eligible App Store subscriptions you share with family members.

For information about the App Store, see Get apps in the App Store on iPhone.

  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Subscriptions.
  2. Do either of the following:
  • Share all new subscriptions:
  • Turn on Share with Family. When you purchase a new subscription that’s eligible for sharing, it’s shared with your Family Sharing members by default.
  • Change the settings of a specific subscription: Tap a subscription, then turn Share with Family on or off.
    • If you don’t see Share with Family, the subscription isn’t eligible for sharing."

____________________

For your wife if needed: Each family member gets their own music library to which they add the music of choice.

See what to do: If you can't find your family's shared apps and content - Apple Support


Previous purchases may be available in the "Library" in the Music app.

You can if you wish: Redownload music - Apple Support
