Setting up Family Sharing on the Mac is
just as simple, but the interface is different.atvp), Apple News+ (go.macworld.com/
apnw), and Apple Arcade (go.macworld.
com/arcp)—all support Family Sharing at
no additional cost. Apple Music can be
shared for an extra $5 per
month, and new features like
Screen Time and Apple TV
Channels can be shared, too.

On your Mac, Family Sharing is in the upper right of the
System Preferences menu.
