I recently signed up for Apple TV and wanted to share it with my sister. However, I discovered that you need an Apple device to set up Family Sharing. To work around this, I revived my old iPod Touch (6th generation). I know it's outdated, but it's what I have! I tried sending invites through iMessage, but they wouldn't go through. When I attempted to invite in person, I received a verification failure error. Is there any way to resolve this issue? Alternatively, is there a way to set up Family Sharing without needing to own or buy a newer Apple device?

Actually, you need a device that supports at least iOS 8 to set up Family Sharing, and since your iPod is on iOS 12, it should technically work. If you managed to set it up before but it's failing now, it might be temporary. Try restarting your device or logging out and back into your Apple ID. If all else fails, it might be worth considering if cancelling your subscription is the best option for now.
Unfortunately, Apple requires a supported device to manage Family Sharing. Your iPod Touch might be too old for this, even if it’s running a compatible iOS version. It's one of those frustrating restrictions of Apple's ecosystem; you need to buy into it to fully participate. If you're struggling financially with upgrades, it really puts a damper on things.
