Where can I see what purchases my kids have made using "ask to buy"?

My two kids are in Family Sharing and have "Ask to buy" activated, how can I see the purchases they have made an I have approved?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Hi jzairick,

Welcome to the Apple Community where some of us do our best to help each other.


Your Apple ID would be used to set up family sharing / ask to buy.

It is where your payment methods are stored.

(Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more.)


Sign in with your Apple ID

OR ...


You would see notifications. and approve (or not) everything the kids buy.

You may still have those notifications ?
