Q: iOS 8 Family Sharing Notification Issues

I receive "request to buy" notifications, from my daughter, on my iPad, but not on my iPhone.  If I approve, she receives the notification, but if I decline, she does not receive the denied notification.

 

Anyone else having these kind of issues?

 

Until iOS 8, my entire family shared an iTunes account for purchases.  I have set up Family Sharing, as the Organizer, and under my iCloud account, but it is not the shared iTunes account. I did pick the shared iTunes account under the Family Purchases section of the Family Sharing setup.  I then invited my daughter and set her iPad up to do the family sharing. She is required to ask to make purchases and it seems to work.

 

Like I said at the beginning of this post, I receive a request notification on my iPad, but not my iPhone.  I checked the settings between my iPad and my iPhone and they match exactly.  I don't want to tinker around so much because I have the other posts about Family Sharing limitations and lockouts.

 

I'm afraid to "convert" my son and wife to the new family sharing plan until I know for sure the rest of this system is going to work as advertised.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

     

    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.
