I am trying to add my 18 yo step son, 12 yo stepdaughter and my new husband to my family sharing group. My family group includes myself and my 12 yo daughter. I’m having difficulty. Is there a maximum number for adults and children that is allowed in one family group?
iPhone 12, iOS 18
“Six” is the number.
Some other important points:
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Also, to setup for your 12yos:
Note that their Apple Accounts must be first setup from the adult family organizer’s device … and then setup the children’s devices.
Create an Apple Account for your child - Apple Support
A child must ALWAYS be a member of a family. (i.e. no Apple Orphans) A family can not be disbanded if it has a child as a member.
A child who is already a member of another family must be invited into your family before her previous family is disbanded. (these instructions must be followed EXACTLY)

Not specifically; the organizer must be an adult, but the other five can be any combination of adults and children.

Each group can have a maximum of six people, including the organizer.

Thank you so much for the quick response. Max of six. Is there a maximum number for adults ?
Got it! Thank you again!
