16yo stuck in Apple Family Sharing, organiser won’t remove her, any workaround?
My little sister (16) is stuck in an Apple Family Sharing account with our mum as the organiser. We asked her a few months ago to remove her and she refused, and now she won’t respond to us at all so we can’t fix it.
Because of this:
- She can’t download apps
- She can’t update her phone
- When she tries to sign out it says “sign out is not available due to restrictions”
We’ve actually set up a new Family Sharing group that we want her to join, but she’s completely stuck in the old one.
She also doesn’t want to lose her data (photos, contacts, etc.), which makes things harder.
Is there ANY workaround for this?
- Can she bypass this restriction at all?
- Can Apple Support remove her without the organiser in situations like this?
- Is there any way to move her data to a new Apple ID if she can’t sign out?
We’re in the UK if that makes any difference.
Trying to avoid her being stuck like this until she turns 18 😭
Any help would be really appreciated!
