iPad Bought an iPad for my 4 year old daughter's birthday, child account doesn't benefit from iCloud+ family plan I have?

The title basically covers it.

Bought for 4 year old daughter's birthday a 10th gen iPad, I have apple one with the 2tb iCloud plan. I share it with my wife currently.

So I set up a child account, she's in my family, but on her new iPad it says she has only 5gb free storage? When I go into my apple account she's in my family for some things, but not in my family for other things, such as iCloud+

What's going on? Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Have you figured it out yet?

How many GBs does a 4 year old need? 👶

Unfortunately not 🙁

You'd be surprised. She loves children's YouTubers and likes to pretend that she's one of them and does videos of herself playing.

Obviously we don't upload the footage, but she loves watching it back and pretending she's just like the TV kids ❤️

Only thing I can think of is you have to do iCloud+ separately. My kids are on my plan fine, if I look back I think I had problems as well.

Here's official link how to do it seperately:

Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support

With Family Sharing, you can share an iCloud+ subscription with up to five other family members.

support.apple.com

...or, on your daughters device, go to Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>Manage Storage>Family Usage

She may have family sharing turned off for cloud storage.

Anyway, hope you get it fixed. 👍

It is a sign that a 4 year old should not have an iPad at her disposal.

Had the same with my mothers iPhone. Turns out you need to activate on their device‘s iCloud settings
