There was a tweet. I thought I pinned it or saved it to read later and I can't find it. It was along the lines of a parent not wanting h/h iMessages going to h/h kid. I saw that happening with my 9 yo 😳 she's not messaging so I disabled it. How can I set up their own Ids and we share the same acct. I don't warn them to have CC access.

No lie! ^

Ok so with the internet protection kids have to be 13 for everything. Did end up lying to set it up? I know one friend did.

Right now we share and they bring me their devices and I log in and download.

Yeah, it will make sharing iTunes easier. But there will be a limit to 6 family members. So for that 7th member, they'll have to do it as it's done now. They will have to have the same iTunes Apple ID as the primary account holder. But have different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
