I recently found out that my sister is getting charged for the app subscriptions I have, like my $2.99 per month iCloud plan, since she added me to her family share plan a few months back. I know she could turn off purchase sharing, but I doubt she'd want to, because she's super nice and has a big family to manage. I've heard about creating a second Apple ID for purchases, but I'm a bit lost on how to go about it. Should I use the new Apple ID for media and purchases, or stick with my old one? Plus, I really don't want to lose access to anything I bought before joining her plan. Will I need to constantly sign in and out of accounts on my phone, or just when I want to make a purchase? I appreciate any guidance!

The best way to handle this is for your sister to turn off purchase sharing for the entire family group. That way, she won’t get charged for your stuff anymore. Alternatively, you could add funds to your Apple ID with gift cards to cover your subscriptions, so she wouldn't be affected. Just keep in mind that it would require her involvement to manage it.
Your sister can either disable purchase sharing for everyone or let you add a gift card or balance to your Apple ID to cover your subscriptions. This lets you manage your own purchases without involving her, and you can also set up auto-reload for your balance. Just make sure to check which credit card will be charged for those payments—yours or hers!
