Family share for Parent/Guardian, why a is purchase code need.

Why is it that my husband has to have a code from me to purchase anything? He is set as a Parent/Guardian. His game would not renew his subscription because of it. It is very upsetting.

I have never heard of anybody needing a "code" for any purchase. Maybe this is something specific to that game/app? Even if you had somehow managed to set him a a child under Ask To Buy, I still don't think a "code" is involved.


If you still have questions or problems:


Contact Apple. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
