I only changed it when I stopped being able to find our separate phones in the Find My Friends app. It’s a pain now having two, as I have to tell my device’s calendars to only look at my wife’s calendars. Also, my wife’s iCloud is bigger – we pay for the first incremental upgrade. I’d like to be able to back up my devices on her iCloud. I’d also like to access shared files on her iCloud.

What I’d really like is to have one iCloud – and still have our devices seen as belonging to us separately.

We share the same iTunes ID but have separate iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime ID’s. That works great for us. We can still share a calendar. We don’t want to share contacts. Not all anyway. Nor do we want to auto share all our photos. I don’t want all those photos she downloads from Facebook! So we have no need for Family Sharing. We can share apps (all of them), music and other iTunes purchases. We share the same purchased list for iTunes purchases. With Family Sharing, not all apps can be shared. Family Sharing is not for everyone. We don’t want it.
