Is there a way to make it so my child has to request to download apps as opposed to getting rid of the app store altogether?
Right now with downloading apps as "disabled", my child can't access the app store at all, which I don't want. I want app downloads to have to go through my approval.
It seems like that isn't an option, so what is the next best option?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
Hi sweetypie4280,
Thanks for posting in Apple Communities, we’d love to help provide some guidance on some options for having a prompt for allowance. A good method would be to allow apps to be download and utilize the steps in Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support. This will help provide a protection barrier for you as the organizer. If you would like to see more options around the controls available, we recommend to leave this suggestion at Product Feedback - Apple

Oh thank you!! I thought that was only for purchases, but I understand now it's for downloading as well.
Thank you for clarifying!
Screen Time App Store - allow download requests
