Why does it look like I have to purchase the app again when I look at my child’s acct. after I share?

Greetings Parentconsentneeded,

There are a few types of content that you cannot share with your family members in Family Sharing. To learn more about what can and cannot be shared, take a look at this page: What types of content can I share with my family? - Apple Support.

What you can't share

• Individual subscriptions to Apple Music, Apple One, and subscriptions and in-app purchases from non-participating apps.

• Student subscriptions, such as a student subscription to Apple Music.

• Consumable in-app purchases, such as coins or gems.

• Items that are no longer available in the App Store, iTunes Store, Books Store, or Apple TV app.

• Items that you or another member of your family group have hidden. Learn more about hidden purchases.

• Some apps from the App Store. Find out if your app is shareable.

• Content that was assigned through a child's school using Apple School Manager.

You may also find the information on this page helpful: How to share purchases with your family - Apple Support. It offers details about the family organizer and how to share apps, music, books, and more in Family Sharing.

Best wishes!
