In other words, until 2019, Apple made it seem like Family Sharing was supported by some apps that didn't support it.
If you were misled by Apple's Family Sharing feature, you may be entitled to a cut of Apple's $25 million settlement.
The lawsuit, known as Walter Peters v. Apple, alleged that “Apple made millions of dollars in fraudulent sales to individuals who were told by Apple that they were receiving up to six copies of an application while they only received one.” The $25 million settlement has already been reduced by $10 million, or 40 percent, to pay for attorneys' fees. The remaining $15 million will be distributed among those who file a legitimate claim. The maximum payment will be $50 per person.
