Managing Apple ID accounts without an apple phone.

I have changed from Apple to another brand of phone. As I still have apple ID how do I approve purchases from the app store for the children without an iPhone?

You can't.

Managing Family Sharing requires an iOS or macOS device.

How to approve child's iPhone app store request using Android device? We recently purchased my son an iPhone 13 for his birthday. I have an Android phone and had to create Apple ID to set up his phone and account (he is 10 years old). We do not have an Apple devices in our household and this is the first one. How do I approve an app store request for my child using an Android device? Is there any way to forward the request to mail, or some web interface? If this cannot be done, how do I turn off the "ask to buy" request? I don't see it as an option on his phone nor do I see it when I log into the AppleID or iCloud websites. Thank you in advance for your help.

How can I approve "ask to buy" purchases my daughter makes on her ipad without an apple device? My 11 year old has a new ipad. I don't have an apple device, I have an Android phone. She is trying to download apps and I would like to approve them, but I don't get any "ask to buy" notifications. What can we do? She has tried downloading an app so many times and we no longer get "approve on this device" as an option. I do not want to sign in on her device and give her full access to my account- I have already learned the hard way why this is a bad idea, and it's partly why she has her own device.
