Not receiving notification of child’s request for apps

I just started the Family Sharing feature. My daughter is requesting some apps but I am not seeing any notifications show up to approve her request. I checked the Notification Center per the advice provided on the website. Not sure what else I could be doing wrong

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

Hello TOinPA,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We understand from your post that you set up Family Sharing but are not receiving a notification when your daughter makes a purchase. Make sure that everything is set up to use the Ask to Buy feature as described below:


Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


If everything is set up properly, but you are still not receiving the notifications, this article may help:


If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support


Best Regards.
