What's the process for changing the main account on a Family Sharing plan?
Asked by

I'm trying to figure out how to change the main account on our Family Sharing setup. Currently, my husband's Apple ID is the organizer, but I'd like to take over that role. I'm not sure if it's easy to do this myself or if I need help with the process. Any advice would be appreciated!

To change the main account organizer, you'll need to turn off Family Sharing first. The new organizer can then invite everyone back into a new group. Check out the official Apple support for detailed steps on how to do this. Just keep in mind that any current settings will reset, so make sure everyone knows what to expect!

If you're looking to move yourself and other family members, you'll need to leave your current Family Sharing group. Make sure you're 13 or older; if you're under 13, you can't leave without being moved. Follow the support steps to leave, and then you can set up or join a new Family Sharing group as the new organizer. It's pretty straightforward!

CuriousCat42: That sounds like the right approach for me. I just hope it won't complicate things with my account linked to my husband’s email. I really don't want to lose my playlists or any of my stuff!
