Question

After my wife and I upgraded our devices to iOS 8, I turned on a family sharing account so we could use those features.

It's on, and shows up on both of our phones as being part of a family. I also see the shared reminders and calendar. Also, her devices show up in my Find my iPhone.

What doesn't show up is purchases. If I go to iTunes or to the App Store, under purchased, I do not see her, nor any area for family purchases. It looks as it always has.

We have two totally separate iTunes accounts, always have.

Also, as a note - I have gone through everything on Apple's support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5449) and no changes. Basically, it notes to make sure you are logged into the right accounts, everyone is set up to share, and the apps support it.

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

Same thing happened to me. On the iPad, I got to show my other family members by completely quitting the iTunes Store and App Store apps (two press the home button and swipe up to quit the app). Once I reopened the app, the family members started showing up.
