My child is added under Family Sharing.

Problem: I don't see her device there, for management.

How to change which family member device belongs to? A phone is currently linked to me (organizer) but I want it linked to my child who actually has it. I have already set up an ID for her but I can’t find a way to move the device to her ID. I don’t want to set it up from the beginning and lose her apps, just transfer the phone from my ID to hers.

How to set up child's device so I can unlock it if it becomes disabled/unavailable? Hi, I am legal guardian of my developmentally delayed child (age 21). She has her own device, an iPad. When I set up her device last year I set it up independent of mine. She has her own iCloud etc. However, there was a recent problem where she got locked out of her device when another child got ahold of it. So now I want to add her device to my account so that if that happens again, it will be easier to unlock the device. Do I need to add her device/ID to Family Sharing then? Will her info AND mine on Family Sharing (on her end) be private if someone gets ahold of her iPad? What is the purpose of "Family Sharing"? Also, how to add her device to Find My app? Thanks.

Location must be shared from the Child's device before it will appear in the Organizer's device in the Find My app.
