Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

If a child is added to family sharing as an adult how can you switch them back to child?

I added my child as an adult (or perhaps my child added himself). But I need to turn off the purchasing feature, etc.

Various possibilities:


Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

You can turn this on for children up to age 17.

For a child under 13 you will have to contact Apple:
