How can I fix the issue of a family member not benefiting from iCloud storage in Apple One?

We have Apple One with Family sharing. All family members are added but one is not benefiting from increased I cloud storage. That user already had individual extra storage set up (and we are still billed £0.99 per month). We think this is preventing them from being added to the family storage but don’t know how to rectify this. Can anyone please advise.

The user will have to manually switch over from their personal plan to the family plan.


If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.
