Don't sign other peoples' device into your iCloud account.
What you want is to have each person have their own iCloud account, but then do all the iTunes store purchases under a separate account. This is obviously tricky if you already have a single iCloud account which has a lot of iTunes purchases. There is no way out of that.
If you're completely new to iOS, or are old enough to have an iTunes account that pre-dates iCloud and thus likely have a separate iCloud account, you are golden :)
- cmsj 14y agoThinking about it, there is a possible way out if you don't have separate iTunes/iCloud accounts already. If you're not using the email address on the iCloud account with all your iTunes purchases, simply sign yourself up to a new one and migrate your data over, then remove contacts/calendars/etc from the account with all the purchases and use that one for signing into the iTunes store on all the family's devices.
- nopal 14y agoIt's possible to use an account that's set up for both iCloud and iTunes for iTunes-only stuff on the kids' devices. The account should just not be used to sign into iCloud on those devices.
