    App Store, Shared Purchases Gone?

    Does anybody know how to access shared purchases on iOS 11? You used to be able to go with under updates and see other people in your family plans purchases, but that's no longer the case from what I am seeing. Any ideas?

    How Photo Stream Should Work

    I like Apple's Photo Stream. It's one of the best ways to circulate photos to family members. But there's one limitation I wish Apple would change. Shared Photo Streams let my wife and I post photos to one stream, so if either of us gets a photo or video of our kids, we can both share it to...

    Hi there, Since starting family sharing, my iCloud email display name has changed to the name of the 'organiser' of family sharing. Therefore whenever I send an email to somebody who hasn't got my email in their contacts, the name that comes up is not of mine. I have tried the steps on this...
