i'm trying to gift an app the directions were to hit share button.
The share icon does not have a gift purchase option underneath it. I have already purchased the app for myself and now I want to give it to someone else.
May this Apple article will help you: Gift apps, music, movies, and more from Apple

Try this -> click Get support at the top right of this thread.
Or if you are more pleasant to call see -> Contact Apple for support and service
Unfortunately As I stated above…
The share icon does not have a gift purchase option underneath it. I have already purchased the app for myself and now I want to give it to someone else…. I’m not sure if it’s because I purchased it already but there is definitely no gift icon.
In this example (not the actual)
I understand that I should be able to tap the share button in the upper right corner and get an option to gift purchase. When I tap this I only get an option to share via messages or another app. Not even an option to purchase as a gift.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks so much for the feedback/help I really appreciate it
This is what I get when I tap the share option in the App Store. No option to purchase and gift it. Any suggestions?
