Will my Daughter be notified about new Apple Account setup?

Hi, my daughter already has an Apple ID for an iPad and is linked to me as a family member. Just got her a phone for Christmas present and was planning to set up in advance, link to her Apple ID and my family account. If I do this, will she be alerted in anyway via her iPad that she had another device ?

thank you in advance

Ahh ok, it’s a refurbished phone so I was hoping to set it all up to see if it works. I’ll have a think about how to go around it thanks


Set it up with your Apple Account, then reset it when you're sure it works.

If the Apple Account security is set as is usually proper here, adding this iPad should be prevented. If it is not prevented or if you have credentials and access, yes, it'll squawk all over the other devices associated with the Apple Account.
