Cannot download apps from store on child Apple ID

I recently set up a child’s account in an iPhone 7; but we cannot download anything from the App Store and can’t sign in to the App Store. Can someone help me figure out how to do this? We’ve tried restarting the device and updating “restrictions” on the phone.

Apple Restrictions Won’t Turn Off I am now 18 but when i wasn’t my parents put restrictions on my phone when it came to downloading apps. Now all of those restrictions have been turned off on both mine and my parents devices but it still prompts me to ask and won’t let me download alone. This is really frustrating and we’ve done seemingly everything to try and fix it, but nothing works. I have the Iphone 12

Daughter unable to download apps I have an iPhone 12 and my 10 year old daughter an iPhone 7. She is a member of my Family Sharing. Has all worked v well until recently. First I stopped getting notifications as part of the Ask to Buy meaning she was unable to download any apps. Now whatever app she looks at in the App Store is says “due to restrictions set for this device, this app cannot be downloaded”. For every single app regardless of the cost or age restriction. i have turned the phone on and off. I have hard reset the phone. I have logged her in and out. I have turned off every restriction in family sharing and repeated the turning in and off, the hard reset and logging her in and out. Nothing seems to work. I’m still getting the same message. Any suggestions that might help us out? Thanks.

Hey CDouble3,

It sounds like you're looking to download apps with a child account. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.

We'd recommend reviewing the information in this article: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy

Thanks!
