Request for app purchase (from children) not notified on iPhone when Mac is on or sleeping.

I only get notifications for app request from my son on my Mac, and not my iphone, when my mac is ON or asleep.


When my mac is off, I get it in the notification center on my iPhone.


(So, when I'm out of office, but my mac is on, .... it is a problem.... can't see the request on my iPhone.)


Is this normal, not to get in on both, or are any settings available?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Hi Foolmoon,


It looks like you're having issues with Ask To Buy and have reviewed the article below.


If Ask to Buy isn't working


If that's correct, and you're still having issues, you'll need to reach out to Apple directly.

Cheers.
