Share photos, a calendar, and more with family members on iPad
With Family Sharing on iPad, you can share a family photo album, a family calendar, your location, and more.
Share photos, calendars, reminders, and files
You can use iCloud to keep your family members connected.
Share any of the following:
Photos and videos: See Share iPad photos with Shared Albums in iCloud.
Calendars: See Share iCloud calendars on iPad.
Reminder list: See Share and assign reminders on iPad.
Documents and files: See Share files and folders in iCloud Drive on iPad.
Share your location with family members
With Family Sharing, you can share your location with members of your family group. When the family organizer sets up location sharing in Family Sharing settings, the organizer’s location is automatically shared with everyone in the family. Then, family members can choose whether or not to share their location.
When you share your location, your family members can see your location in Find My and, if your device is lost, they can help you locate it. You can also get notified when family members change their locations—for example, if a child leaves school during school hours.
Note: To share your location, you must have Location Services turned on in Settings 
> Privacy.
Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing > Location Sharing, then turn on Share My Location.
If your iPad isn’t currently sharing your location, tap Use This iPad as My Location.
Tap the name of a family member you want to share your location with, then tap Share My Location.
You can repeat this step for each family member you want to share your location with. Each family member receives a message that you’re sharing your location and can choose to share their location with you.
To stop sharing your location with a family member, tap the name of the family member, then tap Stop Sharing My Location.
You can also send or share your location from the Messages app 
. Tap your family member’s profile picture or name at the top of the conversation, tap 
, then tap Send My Current Location or Share My Location.
Share a Personal Hotspot
With Family Sharing, you can share an internet connection through a Personal Hotspot with members of your family group. When a member of your family group sets up a Personal Hotspot, other family members can use it without having to enter the password. See Share your internet connection from iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular).
