Can I choose to which devices ask to buy request comes to?

Does anyone know is there a possibility to choose to which device ask-to-buy requests comest to? Or turn some them off from that.


I have a mac, an iPad and an iPhone in which I’m signed into.

my spouse has an iPhone and two kids with iPhones.


when either of the kids makes the request asking an app, the request randomly goes to any device.


Sometimes three devices ring at the same time, sometimes it goes to my mac and all others (even though using them) are silent -no request. Then we end up playing hide and seek for a few minutes until we find to which device the request went to… Fun for a couple of times but frustrating in the long run :)


is it possible to turn off ask-to-buy requests from the iPad for instance? (Where I, a parent, am signed in. )

And get all the requests only on my and my spouses phones.


if this isn’t possible, it would be a great idea to make it so that it is.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


I don't see any instructions as to how to do that, nor I have seen any when others have asked this question.
