Google finally announces Play Family Library, up to six members can share purchases

27 July, 2016
Despite the fact that it's been available to some people for around a couple of weeks now, Google has only made the Play Family Library feature official today. As we revealed back when it first started going live, this essentially lets up to six people share purchases made across Google Play - be those for apps, games, movies, TV shows, or books.

Also doesn't work with Google App accounts:

"You can only set up a family group with a personal Google Account, not a Google for Work or Google for Education account"

      We've been sharing our play store purchases for years. We set up a shared email account and just signed it in on every device. Too simple!
