Family Notifications only goes to my Mac

Previously my family notifications for approval of my children's app requests went to my phone, ipads all at once. I got a new Macbook and now they only show on that one device... I followed all of the online advice to fix it, but all settings are correct (per the website's advice) and nothing has changed... I'd rather just have the notifications go to my phone and not my laptop...

Hi Xenodad,


For help with notifications for the Ask to Buy feature, test the steps below found in the article here: If Ask to Buy isn't working


"Review your Family Sharing settings


If you're the family organizer, you can go to your Settings or System Preferences to see if your family members' accounts have Ask to Buy turned on. 


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Family. If you don't see Family, tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
  3. If you're the family organizer, make sure that Purchase Sharing is turned on. Then you can tap a family member's name to see if Ask to Buy is turned on for their account."


If this is the advice you've followed, and the issue continues reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.
