Family Sharing - can't add family member

Recently I deleted 2 unneeded accounts from the Family group as we were at 6 members. I now need to add my daughter and we have a total of 4 members currently. Unfortunately the blue icon in the upper right hand corner of Family settings is greyed out. How do I fix that?

Family Sharing Not Allowing 5th Person to be added I have 4 kids added to my family sharing account and can not get it to allow me to add the 5th person (6 including me as the organizer). Does anyone know how to unlock the “+ Add Family Member” option when I should still have one place open? So far, nothing seems to be working that I’ve tried and I’d like to get my 5th child added.

I'm unable to add more family members when the "Add Person" button is not working? In family sharing my add person button is grayed out. I only have 4 family member which includes myself. I am allowed to have up to 6 but it will not let me add anyone else. I have tried logging out and logging back in. I know how to add a person obviously but it is no longer giving me the option even though I should be able to add 2 more people. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

not able to add member into family sharing I understand you can have up to 5 additional people plus yourself for family share. I did have a stepdaughter on family share, she is under 13. I went through the process to have her removed and her apple id cancelled, however now I still can not add another person. The ADD button is greyed out. I only have a total of 5 people now, including myself. Please Help

Hello GnomeWrangler,

If you're unable to add people to a family sharing group, make sure you're currently set as the "Organizer" of the group.

Manage Family Sharing settings

If your account is set as the Organizer and you're still unable to add people to the group, you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support

Cheers!
