Hi Paul, Family sharing is an IOS 8 feature. Your wife can go ahead to create her own Apple ID and password to set up the iPhone in her name. All she need to do in order to use the apps you already purchased with your ID, is to go to settings > iTunes and logout and login with your Apple ID and password, then she should go to apps store, under the search tab, she can search for the apps you have already purchased. In this case, the download button will be available. HTH, Regards, Godwin Adoyi

My wife will shortly inherit an iPhone 4 which has been reset to factory settings and which I recall will run IOS 7 but not IOS 8. She will want to manage this from her Windows PC and so will install iTunes on that PC. Presumably when my wife first connects the iPhone 4 to iTunes she will have to sign onto the iTunes store using my Apple ID and password and to tell iTunes that the iPhone 4 is a new phone. If she accesses the iTunes App store from the iPhone 4 she will likewise have to sign on using my Apple ID and password. Can my wife then install for free some of the Apps I have purchased from the iTunes store? If so what does she have to do to achieve that? I have enabled family sharing on my iPhone 5S but am not clear if all sharing devices have to be IOS 8. Many thanks for your advice.
