Thought it was the only way to do it back then. Just recently got everyone on their own ID, including kids.

Yeah, should’ve done this a long time ago.

You don’t need to share an AppleId to share photos & apps. You can accomplish everything you are doing on a family plan

That’s what I figured it was like. I’ve just stuck with what I originally set up

That’s my reasoning for why we all still have one. It was the best way to do

Finally did it because we added our next kid and it started messing up every one’s settings. So, was finally motivated

Everyone with their own Apple ID. My wife and I use my Apple ID for the App Store. Otherwise she uses her own appleid.

What’s the advantage in the App Store?

Just billing - her purchases go to my account

Everyone should have their own appleID. Then put everyone in the same family on iCloud.
