How do I initiate Family Sharing

If you have purchased an annual or lifetime Opal Pro subscription via the App Store or Stripe, you may share your Opal Pro plan with family members living in the same household who have their own Opal accounts. How to set up Family Sharing is determined by where you subscribed.

Family Sharing for Annual Subscriptions Purchased via the iOS App Store

To share Opal Pro with your family members after you've purchased your annual subscription via the iOS App Store, they must first have their own Opal accounts. Once they’ve signed up for Opal accounts, please follow these steps to enable Family Sharing:

  • Exit Opal
  • Go to your iPhone "Settings" > "Family" > "Subscriptions" > "Manage Subscriptions"
  • Select "Share all new subscriptions" or "Change the settings of a specific subscription"
  • If you select "Share all new subscriptions," when you purchase a new subscription that's eligible for sharing, it will be shared with your Family Sharing members automatically
  • If you select "Change the settings of a specific subscription" you may then tap on a subscription, then turn "Share with Family" on or off. Share all new subscriptions: Turn on Share with Family. When you purchase a new subscription that’s eligible for sharing, it’s shared with your Family Sharing members by default

Once you've followed those steps, Family Sharing will be available for your annual subscription purchase. To troubleshoot any issues with Family Sharing, please follow the steps here.
