Restriction of certain apps

Is it possible to block the download of certain Apps? I.e my child needs groupme for school but I don’t want her to have Snapchat, Instagram and FB.

Use Family Sharing with the "Ask to Buy" feature.

Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


With Ask to Buy and Family Sharing, whenever a child initiates a new purchase or free download, a request goes to the family organizer. The organizer can review the item and approve the purchase or decline the request right from their own iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For example, this could be a request for items in the iTunes, Apple Books, or App Store, In-App Purchases, or iCloud storage.
