iMore

My son told me I needed to set up a new apple account in order to add me to their family sharing. I have an existing account already. I don't want to lose any information, i.e. Contacts etc. I have already on my iPhone. Why do I need a new account to be added to their family sharing? It was on at one time but there was an issue and I was deleted from their sharing. I lost all my phone contacts and all my calendar events on my iPad. I'm not getting family sharing on my iPhone either but that's all it affected.
