Updated March 24, 2026: iOS 26.4 is available, here we explain everything you need to know about the update for iPhone
The RC beta of iOS 26.4 has been available since March 18. This is the last beta released by Apple before releasing the final version of an update. The launch of iOS 26.4 is expected to occur at the end of March, or at the latest, at the beginning of April.
iOS 26.4 includes multiple new features impacting the different aspects of the iPhone. The update also removes a fairly restrictive restriction regarding family sharing.
Members of a Family Sharing group can use their own payment method in iOS 26.4
Family Sharing allows you to share access to Apple services like iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV+ with five members of your family. Problem, until now, it was also imperative to share a single payment method per group. We let you imagine the problems that such a restriction could cause.
No products found.
Fortunately, iOS 26.4 brings some order to all this and avoids arguments. Each member of a Family Sharing group can now use your own payment method on Apple services.
“ When the family account administrator enables shared purchases and members enable this feature on their devices, they have access to each other’s shared content. The family account administrator supports purchases for all members unless they disable sharing purchases or other adult family members use their own payment method to make purchases. », Now indicates the American company’s support page.
Previously, it only stipulated that “ the family manager pays for the purchases of each member “. Obviously, purchase sharing remains available on iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4 and macOS Tahoe 26.4 if you prefer this operation. Remember that iOS 26.4 also corrects a rather annoying keyboard bug that has existed since the release of iOS 26 in September 2025.
