  • Can I allow an application for one person on my family share but does not allow for each other?

    Can I allow an application for one person on my family share but does not allow for each other?

    You can't delegate who has access and who doesn't have access to the applications. You can lock devices with age restrictions, so only items appropriate age are at their disposal. Or you can hide your list purchases. The purchased app can then be displayed when you want to share with someone else, then be hidden again once the application is downloaded on their device.

    I hope this helps.
