I'm wondering if the Family Organizer can detect when a new device is linked to any family member's individual Apple ID. All Apple IDs are separate and not shared among us, and we're not sharing location either. Does anyone know how this works?

Nope, the Family Organizer won’t see new devices attached to your family members' Apple IDs unless there's a purchase linked to that device. If you're not buying anything, they really won't have a clue!
Actually, if you're part of the family group, they can see devices. They won't see your location if location sharing is off, but any new purchases or extra devices added to the family Apple IDs will appear on the organizer's account. Just make sure the device in question doesn’t have its own separate Apple ID!
That’s good to know! I never buy anything, so I guess I'm in the clear.
