Family Sharing

Hi all, Anyone know how to create new Family Sharing or remove someone form it? Young lad (under 16) got a new phone but his old one is still appearing and it can't be removed. Thanks R

Family Sharing is a group of the Apple Accounts of the people in a "family", not the devices themselves.

Did he set up his new phone with the same Apple ID as his old one? That's what he should have done anyway, so I assume he did.

Where is the old phone still appearing? In the Find My app? Should be a case of him going into his Apple ID and removing the old phone from his account

On the new iPhone: Settings > Click on his name at the top > Scroll down to the device in question, click on it > scroll down to "Remove From Account".
