  2. Click the Account option on the top-right corner.
  3. Select the 'All Purchases' option under Accounts.
  4. Navigate to the 'My purchases' option. It will have a list of all the applications that have been purchased.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Access Apple ID by tapping on the name.
  3. Select the 'Setup Family Sharing' option.
