I’m not seeing notifications from my child asking for an app.

Help my kid needs an app for school and it isn’t sending requests notifications to my phone when she ask. She has an 8 and I have an XR. This use to work on our other apple phones.

Try turning off Ask to Buy for her and then turn it back on.

Not getting Ask to Buy notifications After reading how to Ask to Buy and the notifications for it, I cannot solve how to get notified of Ask to Buy on any device. trying to purchase Rosetta Stone on kid iPad, which I have on my phone, I’m the Parent role, and I don’t get any notifications. No option to approve on kid iPad. Turned off Ask to Buy on child, and still getting Ask to Buy pop up on child iPad. Checked spouse’s phone, Organizer Role, and no notifications either.

iOS download request from children broken I have set up Apple Family and everything looks correct. My kid wants to download an app. Per Apple Family, he needs to get approval from me or my wife to install the app. I do not get a notification on my iPhone anymore for him. I do get a notification on my Mac, but the details are extremely slow to load and once I hit approve, it just hangs. If after a few minutes I close the details window with the approve and decline buttons on my Mac, I get the notification again in my sidebar, but when I click "details" there, nothing opens, the notification disappears and reappears. Clicking "details" triggers the same loop again. For one of my other kids, if she requests an app, I get an iMessage with the request on my iPhone instead of a notification. The whole experience appears inconsistent and broken. Does anyone know how to fix this?
