I have just set my son up on an iPhone, he is 10, but despite having him set up on family sharing he is able to buy apps without my permission.
when I go into family sharing ask to buy is not there. He is listed as a member of my family and to confirm he is 10 and that is showing next to his name so he is set up as a child
iPhone 8
Make sure that the share my purchases is on.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
The try to see if you can see the ask to buy setting and turn it on for the child.
By the way, the Apple ID account was created while you were setting up family sharing? It should be an iCloud account.

You won't be charged for the past purchases he already made. This message is moving forward.
If you will not enable share purchases, you won't be able to do to Ask to buy feature.
Just make sure that your card is not added to your child's Apple ID account: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201266
If the child made any purchases accidentally, Apple can possibly refund it as one time only.
Hi thanks for the reply
yes it’s set up as an iCloud account.
i haven’t got share my purchases on as it says by turning that on I agree to pay for his purchases, I don’t want this as I don’t want him running up a huge bill. All the sites I’ve looked at says that for under 13’s it should be on automatically so no idea why it’s not!
Turning on Purchase Sharing worked for me. Thanks
Ask to buy option not available
