Family Watch Apps

I recently set up a family watch for my 11yo. After the initial setup, I added Amazon music as an app for her to listen to music. I think the app had an update but just a few days after using it, my daughter said the app was gone. When I went to the App Store, there was a message that said: due to restrictions on this device, the app can’t be downloaded.


After quite a bit of searching, I turned off the content restrictions and the app returned to her screen. My question is: is there a way to keep the restrictions on and still be able to gets apps for her on the watch?


Thanks.

Hello trbmartin,


If you want them to still be able to download applications on their watch then you would have to set the iTunes & App Store Purchases setting in your restrictions to "Allow" for installing apps.


Set up a family member’s Apple Watch

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
