How can I fix Family Sharing email problems?

Hi, I tried to be added to my dad’s family sharing but when I entered the email for the account, it didn’t send. I sent it several times and nothing. After reading an article on this very issue on this website, I was misled into believing there was an “invitations” tab in settings where family sharing invites were supposedly meant to be; however, this tab simply doesn’t exist in my settings.

Adding a second email to a Custom Domain Hello, I have subscribed to iCloud+ I have added the feature for email via a custom domain. It is working fine for one user. Now I want to add an email for someone else who will be using that custom domain. The second user is part of my family sharing. I added them as a second user on my iCloud - Custom Domain. They received the email saying "A family member set up the domain “xyz...zz.org” to work with iCloud Mail. To add your own custom email addresses to that domain, please go to iCloud Settings." When I go to iCloud Settings I see the options below. That is, it includes the option for "Custom Email Domains". But when she goes to iCloud Settings the equivalent menu is WITHOUT "Custom Email Domains": We can't see any other way to create the Custom Domain email address. Are we looking in the wrong place? Or what could have gone wrong? How is an invited user expected to setup a custom domain email address? Some things that might be relevant. we only set up her Apple Id and iCloud mail account a few hours ago. similarly we made her account a member of my family group recently. Does family-sharing need to be setup so that the other member has "share purchases" enabled in order for her to access a Custom Domain? I think I unticked that when setting up Family Sharing settings. Any insights from someone who has got through this would be very welcome.

Can not change child's Apple ID email I need to change my child's Apple ID email (for his iPad) in Family sharing. When I try to do this I get "Could not update email. The Apple ID cannot be updated for this account at this time". Any ideas on what to do? I've tried doing this from my child's device and from my device. Nothing works.

Can’t view invite to approve family sharing transfer child Thanks to this forum I finally resolved the issue of not receiving the notification to transfer our child from my husband to myself for family sharing…. but when he opens the email in the iPhone mail app (in yahoo, which is his Apple ID) the error message says “Cannot view invite, the invite cannot be viewed from this account”. Eek!!! There is no other account. I’m beyond frustrated!! Praying one of you has some advice!
