Turn off "Ask to Buy" for my children who are under 13

I turned on family sharing and now I want to turn off the "ask to buy" feature for my 12 year old daughter. How do I do this?

Use these steps to turn Ask to Buy on or off for family members who are under 18* in your family group. If you turn off Ask to Buy for a family member after they turn 18,* you can't turn it on again.


iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings > [your name] and tap Family Sharing. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud and tap Family.
  2. Tap your family member's name.
  3. Tap Ask to Buy.


Mac

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
  2. Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
  3. Select Ask to Buy.
