Family sharing (coming soon)
Share one plan with up to five people and share chosen collections.
Family sharing is built and in testing, but not switched on for accounts yet. Settings → Family shows Not available yet until it is. This page describes how it will work.
How it will work
- One Family plan covers up to five people, including the person who pays.
- Everyone keeps their own private account and library. Joining a family does not let anyone see your bookmarks, and the plan owner can't see how many you have.
- You choose which collections to share and with whom, as a viewer (can read) or an editor (can add and change bookmarks). Shared collections appear under Shared with me for the other person.
- Collections in Privacy Mode stay encrypted when shared. The collection's key is sealed separately for each person on your device, so our servers never see it. You can compare a safety number with someone to confirm you are sharing with the right person.
- Removing someone from a shared collection gives it a new key, so they can't read anything added afterwards.
- If you leave a family you keep your own library, and you have 30 days before your account goes back to its own plan.
When family sharing goes live it will be announced in What's new and this page will become a how-to.
