How can I turn off Time Sensitive notifications for Ask To Buy?

I have Family Sharing enabled for my family and Ask To Buy enabled for my children. On MacOS Monterey, I can't figure out how to turn off Time Sensitive notifications for Ask To Buy


In Notification & Focus settings in MacOS, I can't find any apps listed for Family Sharing. Time Sensitive notifications are unchecked for the App Store app.


Edit: Disregard system details below - I'm on macOS 12.6.

MacBook Pro 13″

Hey there dav3ypants,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.


Check out this helpful resource on changing Notifications settings on your Mac:


Change Notifications settings on Mac - Apple Support


We specifically want to point out this section:


"Allow time sensitive alerts

Let apps send time-sensitive notifications. For example, when you select this option for the Calendar app, notifications for events that require your immediate attention are shown. To show these notifications when a Focus is on, you must also set the option for the Focus in Focus settings. See Choose which notifications to allow."


Have you tried enabling Focus?


Keep us posted.


Have a great day!

I haven’t tried focus though I feel like I should be able to turn off or alter the notification settings for ask to buy without having to rely on being in a focus mode. I guess I can try it as a last resort, creating a focus mode just to filter out Ask To Buy. I think, however, that it’s an oversight if you can’t manage notification settings for Ask To Buy. Thanks for the suggestion!
