So you have successfully set up Family Sharing on iPhone and iPad in iOS 11. Now you can add members to this Family. iOS 11 has come up with many innovative changes users would like to explore. And if you are a family with multiple iOS devices, you would surely like to use this feature of sharing iCloud storage with members of Family Sharing group. If, as an organizer, you are using a larger plan (more than 5GB), your family members will be added automatically to your plan – provided, your family members are using the basic 5GB free plan. To avoid any extra cost of iCloud storage, you can add family member to iCloud storage plan.
If you want to add a family member to a shared iCloud storage plan, this is the right opportunity as Apple has increased the storage limit to its cloud storage plan.
