Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Checked all settings for family sharing, checked Apple ID, and I am still not receiving Ask to Buy/Download permission. I am not receiving them on any devices (ipad/iPhone/iMac) for my son’s requests from his iPhone 13.
Is there also a way to turn this off for free downloads?

About free downloads, I don't use ATB but my impression is that when you download a free app you are still 'buying' it, you just aren't paying anything for it. In that regard ATB should still work.
