Apple Music Family Plan

if my fiancé and i both have an individual plan and I were to switch to family and add him, would he lose or have to redownload/recreate his playlists and music he has downloaded previously?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hey there lulubug7,


As being part of a Family Sharing group is a requirement to obtain an Apple Music family subscription, he will automatically be part of the family subscription, thus not resulting any loss of of his library.


For your reference, we wanted to provide a resource that goes over how to Get an Apple Music family subscription, which also includes more details about how it work between different members in the Family Sharing group.


Cheers!

Greetings lulubug7,


To help clarify, your husband won't lose any of his downloads or playlists unless he cancels his plan prior to joining your Apple Music family subscription.


In the article that was provided in an earlier message, it states that his individual plan will be canceled automatically after joining your Apple Music family subscription. This process will allow him to keep his library intact, as there won't be a lapse in the subscription. Get an Apple Music family subscription - Apple Support


If someone in the family group already has an individual or student subscription to Apple Music, renewal of that subscription is automatically canceled when they join the family group.


Let us know if you have any additional questions.


Kind regards.

i guess i should'e been more specific. We are not on the same phone plan and would like to share an apple music family subscription instead of paying for individual plans considering the price increase. Therefore, would he have to re-download any music/playlists he has created? We are aware that he won't lose the music he has bought from the past, just wondering about the music he has downloaded from apple music since it became a subscription.
