Why do the game request from my daughters apple sharing keep going to my iPad instead of my phone.

Every time my daughter requests a game under family sharing it goes to my iPad for approval instead of my iPhone for approval

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hi Rjmc779,


Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy outlines the feature whereby requests for apps or purchases are sent to you. In that article is the following section:


"Where to find your Ask to Buy requests

If you miss an Ask to Buy notification, you can find the request in Messages on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac. If you don't see the request in Messages, you can find your Ask to Buy request in Notification Center. "


Confirming that the notifications for your iPhone are set up properly and checking the Notification Center of that device next time a request comes through are good steps to follow.


Regards.
