Apple Music offers 3 different tiers for its users - $10.99 for individuals, $5.99 for college students and $16.99 family plan which supports up to six family members share accounts. A family organizer can set up the Apple Music Family Account and then invite their family members to become the part of the sharing group. Once Family Sharing in the Apple Music Family membership is set up on each member’s devices automatically, then the music purchased by a family member is available to other members in this sharing group.
If you want to share Apple Music songs with your family and enjoy Apple Music across all the devices owned by your family members, you can follow this detailed tutorial to quickly activate Apple Music family membership and share music with your family members.
If you sign up for Apple Music family subscription, you and your family members can listen to over 100 millions of songs and use all the features including music videos, Beats 1, curated playlists, exclusive, original contents and more tailored to personal music tastes. Besides, there are three important benefits you will get after joining Apple Music Family Sharing Plan.
1. More cost-effective and affordable than Individual
Apple Music Individual plan costs $10.99 per month, while the Family plan costs $16.99 per month (1.5 times of Individual). So if two and more members share one Family account, it would be much cheaper than Individual.
