Can you assign someone else as an Organizer for a child's account without having to create a new iCloud ID

Can you assign someone else as an Organizer for a child's account without having to create a new iCloud ID.


My child has an established iCloud id. But the organizer is her mother. She had an iPod, now I got her an iPhone. But she doesn't want to start over with a new cloud ID. And her mother doesn't want to manage it anymore.

If you set up a new Family Sharing family, her mother can transfer the existing child Apple ID to the new family. Her mother can then disband her existing family and join your new family if desired.


For the new family.


Family Sharing - Set up.  *


Family Sharing - Set up on iPhone.  -


For the transfer of the child.


Family Sharing -  Transfer a child to a different family group - Apple Support   *


Family Sharing - Leave.  *


To disband the existing family see the 'Family Sharing - Leave' link above.
