Stronglifts Pro Family Sharing (iPhone)
With Stronglifts Pro Family, up to five other family members can gain access to the same Stronglifts Pro features you have access to.
Stronglifts Pro Family works using Apple's Family Sharing. The person who made the purchase needs to set up a Family Group on their device and invite family members to join. After this, Stronglifts Pro Family can be shared with every family member in the group.
This guide will show you how to share Stronglifts Pro Family with your family members.
How to Set Up Family Sharing
The first step is to set up family sharing.
- Please make sure all your devices are updated to iOS 18. The instructions on this page are specifically for iOS 18. If you're using an older version, your device's screens might appear different. To update to the latest version, go to your phone settings > General > Software update.
- Take the device on which you purchased Stronglifts Pro Family.
- Go to your device settings and tap your name. Tap "Family," then tap Continue.
- If the family member you'd like to add appears in the list of suggestions, tap "Invite" next to their name. If they don't show, tap "Invite Others," choose "Mail," and enter the email address of the family member you want to invite.
- Your family member will receive your invitation by email. Please ask them to open the email and ask tap the link inside. They should then select "Join Family"
- After this, you'll receive a notification that they've been added to your family group.
How to Share Stronglifts Pro Family
Once you've set up Family Sharing, you need to share the purchase with your family member. How to do this depends on the type of family plan that you purchased.
- Stronglifts Pro Family Yearly. If you purchased this plan, go to the App Store, tap "Account", tap "Subscriptions", tap "Stronglifts", then enable "Share with Family".
- Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime. If you purchased this plan, go to your device settings - tap "Family", then tap "Purchase Sharing" - tap "Continue" - tap "Turn On".
What To Do if Family Sharing Doesn't Work
If your family members don't have access to Stronglifts Pro Family after following the steps above, please try the following:
- Update iOS to the latest version. We've had cases where family sharing didn't work because one of the devices was using an outdated version of iOS. Please go to your device settings > general > software update. You should do this for every device that needs access to Stronglifts Pro Family.
- Update Stronglifts to the latest version. Stronglifts Pro Family may not work if one of the devices uses an outdated version of Stronglifts. Please update by going to the App Store > Account > Updates > find Stronglifts > tap Update.
- Update the App Store region. We've had cases where Family Sharing didn't work because one of the family members used a different App Store region. It seems like Apple requires the same region for every family member. You can change the App Store region by going to your device settings, tap your name, tap "Media & Purchases," tap "View Account," sign in if needed, tap "Country/Region," tap "Change Country or Region," then select the same region as the family member who purchased Stronglifts Pro Family.
- Reinstall the app with the proper Apple ID. If you downloaded the app with one Apple ID but are now trying to use it with a different Apple ID for Family Sharing, the subscription might not work. To fix this issue, uninstall the app from your device and reinstall it using the Apple ID registered in "Media & Purchases." This process usually resolves the subscription activation problem.
If it still doesn't work after that, please email us for assistance. Contact us from Stronglifts - settings - report an issue (or email support@stronglifts.com).
Stronglifts Pro Family FAQs
How do I upgrade to Stronglifts Pro Family?
Simply go to Stronglifts - settings - subscription. You'll find options to upgrade to Stronglifts Pro Family Yearly and Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime. If you have already purchased Stronglifts Pro Lifetime for yourself, you'll find an option to upgrade to Stronglifts Pro Lifetime Family on the same screen.
Can I share Stronglifts Pro Family with family members without an iOS device?
Stronglifts Pro Family, purchased on iOS, requires Apple's Family Sharing to work. Apple doesn't allow Android devices to be added to an Apple Family Group. Stronglifts Pro Family is also not available as a purchase on Android due to Google's restrictions. But we have a workaround here.
Why does Stronglifts Pro Lifetime Family not show in my subscriptions?
This is normal. Lifetime plans are not subscriptions. They're one-time purchases without recurring fees. So they never show under your subscriptions when you visit your App Store account settings. Only Stronglifts Pro Family Yearly will show under your subscriptions.
You can share Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime plan like this:
- Go to your device settings
- Tap "Family Sharing"
- Tap "Purchase Sharing."
- Enable "Share Purchases with Family".
After this, your Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime plan will be shared with everyone in your family group.
I purchased Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime through the website. How do I grant my family members access?
Right now family purchases done through the Stronglifts website are handled by us.
- Please ask every family member to login from Stronglifts > settings > profile.
- Please take a screenshot of those screens and send it over to us at support@stronglifts.com
- We will grant access to every family member.
