Read this support article please --> Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support




How to approve or decline a request



If you're the family organizer, use your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac to approve or decline a request.



  1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. Can't find your Ask to Buy notifications?

  2. Approve or decline the purchase.

  3. If you approve, sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.






What happens next



After the item is purchased, it's added to your child’s account.2 If you turned on purchase sharing, the item is also shared with the rest of the family group.



If you decline a request, your child receives a notification that you

declined the request. If you dismiss the request or don't make the

purchase, the child will need to make the request again. In iOS 16.1 or

iPadOS 16.1 or earlier, requests that you decline or dismiss are deleted

after 24 hours.








Where to find your Ask to Buy requests



If you miss an Ask to Buy notification, you can find

the request in Messages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple

Watch, or Mac. If you don't see the request in Messages, you can find your Ask to Buy request in Notification Center
