||
| <p>Found myself in a classic parent moment yesterday. My older daughter wanted to learn Minecraft on her iPad, so I bought it for $6.99. When my younger one predictably wanted it too, the App Store presented me with the option to buy it again.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>After Reddit search, I found the solution:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <ol> | ||
| <li>Open the App Store on your iOS device</li> | ||
| <li>Tap your account icon in the upper right corner</li> | ||
| <li>Select "Apps"</li> | ||
| <li>Choose the family member account where you originally bought the app</li> | ||
| <li>Find the app and tap the cloud icon to download (no second payment needed!)</li> | ||
| </ol> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Seems obvious in hindsight, but Apple doesn't make this clear at all. This works for any app eligible for Family Sharing, not just Minecraft.</p> | ||
