Q: Family Sharing - ask to buy notification disappears

What about if you missed it on an iphone ?

See the links in the first step of "Approve or decline a request" in:

Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

That actually didn't help at all...

The issue is that the notification disappears (& yes I do know how to access the Notification center).

What I am realizing (I think) is that if you can't click on the "approval request notification" you can't approve without the requestor re-send the approval request.  This is a problem for me.

I need to be able to find the request in some other way or the notification should not disappear so readily.

Likewise, the notification disappears from Notification Center (on both iOS and Mac devices).  Family sharing is fraught w/ inconsistency and evidently generally poorly QA'd (this particular issue just one of several I'm experiencing).

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for improvement. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
