How do I see the Family sharing invitation on the target device?

How do I see the Family sharing invitation on the target device?  I sent it from my iPhone but I don't see it on my wife's iPhone. Where should she look to see the invitation I sent?

The invitation should show up as a notification on the lock screen. If it's not there, go to Settings > iCloud > Family Sharing and the invite should be there. If it's not, double-check the Apple ID on the other phone and hit "Resend Invitation" on your phone to try again.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

    Just figured it out, it has been so long since I went to the page to enter my shared account name and password that I forgot all about it.

  • HT201454 How do you handle family members outside the household being a part of the Family Sharing program?  I don't want them using my credit card for itunes and/or apps on their phones - just want to be able to share pictures/videos.

    Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases.  We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary.  Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?

    If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

  • My husband and I share an apple id. How do we seperate them withou losing anything to use the Family Sharing?

    Using iPhone 4S, iOS 8
    When we first got our iphones we set up to share our iTunes account so we only had to buy an app once.  Now with Family Sharing we want to separate into our own apple IDs.  We plan to get new iPhone 6 s soon and want to back up what we can to the iCloud to make it easier.  What is the best way to do this without losing any info?  I want to keep my apple ID and create a new one for my husband.

    Hi Christy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Family Sharing will make it easy for you to setup a new Apple ID for your husband, while allowing purchases to be shared between accounts. Take a look at the article below for information about the Family Sharing features and how to set it up.

  • HT202675 family sharing invitation lacks answer-buttons on PC

    family sharing invitation from Yosemite
    the invitation e-mail has got no buttons ('accept' 'decline')
    on PC

    Hello, turtlefisher.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are not able to accept a invitation to join Family Sharing.  Here are the steps on how to accept an invitation.  
    Join a family group
    You can accept or decline an invitation to join a family from you iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
    In iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Invitations.
    In OS X Yosemite, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family.
    If the invitation is sent to your email address, you can also respond right from your email.
    To accept an invitation, follow the onscreen instructions. Here's what you'll be asked to do when you join:
    Confirm your Apple ID and password.
    Choose if you want to share your content and which iTunes Store account you want to share from.
    Choose if you want to share your location. If you agree, your location can be displayed on family members’ devices in Find My Friends and Messages, and the location of your shared devices will also appear on family members’ devices in Find My iPhone.
    If you can't accept the invitation, see if someone else joined a family with your Apple ID or is sharing purchased content from your Apple ID. Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year. 
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing
    You can also have the organizer resend the invitation via the steps below.  
    OS X Yosemite: Manage the family you organized
    Cheers,

  • How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have.  I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging.  How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    Hey Wendaroski,
    I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
    If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

  • How to hide iBooks in family sharing?

    I am attempting to hide specific books from being downloaded or even being able to be seen in iBooks from family sharing.  I really don't want the kids to see the books my wife is downloading and reading, not even the title when they attempt to go into iBooks and download other purchases.  I know in the App Store for apps, I can just go to purchased and slide left on the app and click hide, but I can't do the same when in iBooks.  Is there another method or can it be done at all?

  • Having problems with family sharing invites

    Hi, I send the invite to my son, which appears in his email, but when he views the invite it does not come up with the option to accept or decline and is therefore unable to join?

    Set the iTunes login and password and the e-mail addresses on the iPad iCloud setup to the same as the owner of the Family Sharing and iCloud account, which in this case is you.

  • Can't confirm family sharing invitation

    My dad sent me a family sharing invitation, which I received without any problems. Once I click on "view invitation" I get redirected to family sharing settings and get asked to confirm that I'm using the correct iCloud account and to confirm the invitation  But then they ask if I want to share my location and I get two options: either accept or "not now". Either way I get the same message; that I'm already "in the family" and when clicking "ok" the only thing I can do is go back to the start.
    Basically i can't confirm that I want to be part of the family. And yeah my dad tried several times to remove the invitation and to invite me again. 
    What at am I supposed to do?

    Have you found a solution?
    I have the same problem.
