When you change the Apple ID used for Family Sharing, family members will have access to purchases made from the new account only. This means that while they can enjoy the content and services associated with the new Apple ID, they will no longer be able to access content that was purchased under the previous Apple ID.

This is because the shared features in Family Sharing are tied directly to the Apple ID that is designated as the organizer. Once the Apple ID is changed, the shared content, apps, and subscriptions associated with the old account are no longer available to the family group. Previous groups remain intact but separated from the new purchases, leading to a clear distinction between what can be accessed depending on the Apple ID currently in use.

In terms of subscriptions, while new subscriptions can be shared and accessed under the new Apple ID, any subscriptions tied to the old Apple ID will not carry over, resulting in those previous subscriptions being inaccessible. This emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications that a change in the Apple ID may have within the Family Sharing environment, particularly concerning shared content access.
