I have an older iPad that I gave to my youngest son for games. I left my AppleID on it and just deleted the apps he wouldn't need. He's six now and autistic, and sharing an AppleID is a problem. He's easily able to get into the AppStore, and my texts/notifications are showing up (I turn them off but he figures out how to turn them back on - he LOVES messing with settings).
I have a 10-year old as well and will likely soon be considering a device for him.
I want to do Family Sharing. I read how to set up IDs and how to set up sharing. I can handle all that.
Am I right in thinking I'll need to redownload all the games he likes? And he'll lose any in-app purchases, etc?
Do I have to truly go in and individually hide everything I don't want him to access? Is there no way to do it the other way around - everything is hidden and I "unhide" what I want to share?
Is there anything else I need to seriously consider before doing this?
