    Apple Card Can other family members see what others buy

    I’m considering getting an Apple Card for my high school aged daughter, or more likely, adding her to my account. I assume this means I can see what she purchases. However, will she also be able to see what I purchase, by looking through her wallet app? I’d rather she not.

    iCloud and Family Sharing

    How does Family Sharing work? Can Mrs. Eldiablojoe share my extra storage to backup her iPhone? Can I buy the 2TB so we can both use it as a backup for all our iTunes music and photos? What things are and are not shared, exactly?
