How to Leave Family Sharing on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Leaving Family Sharing on iPhone, iPad, and Mac is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps. Whether you want to create your own Apple ID or join another family group, following these instructions will help you exit from your current Family Sharing setup.
For iPhone and iPad:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
3. Scroll down to find “Family Sharing.”
4. Here, you’ll see a list of the family members. Tap on your name.
5. Scroll down to the bottom and tap on “Leave Family Sharing.”
For Mac:
1. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen.
2. Select System Preferences from the drop-down menu.
3. Click on Family Sharing.
4. Choose “Details” next to your name under the ‘Family’ section.
5. At the bottom of the details page, click on “Leave Family.”
It’s important to note that when you leave a Family Sharing group:
– You’ll lose access to any shared purchases, subscriptions, and services except for items that one has downloaded before leaving the Family Sharing group; these will remain in your purchase history.
– You won’t share locations with other family members using the “Find My” service anymore.
– If you are the family organizer, you cannot leave Family Sharing unless you disband the family group.
Make sure to backup any data you wish to keep before leaving Family Sharing, as access to shared data like calendars or storage plans will also be lost.
Remember that if you leave a family by accident and wish to return, only the family organizer can invite you back into the group.
By following these steps, you should be able to leave Family Sharing with ease and adjust your device setup as needed for iPhone, iPad, or Mac devices.
