Child Restrictions and App Sharing

Hello johnnyjackhammer,

If your child is accessing these apps via Family Sharing, you would need to disable Family Sharing for them using the steps in this guide:

How to share purchases with your family - Apple Support

1. "If you haven't set up Family Sharing yet, set up Family Sharing.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Tap Family. If you don't see Family, tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
4. Tap Purchase Sharing."

You can then turn it off for your child.

There is also some information in this resource that may help as well: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch – Apple Support

Cheers!

Hi there johnnyjackhammer,

We appreciate those details. Yes, you could try hide purchased apps that you don't want your child to download from previous purchases. If needed, the steps below show how to do that on a Mac:

"Hide apps on your Mac

1. On your Mac, open the App Store. If you're not already signed in, click Sign In at the bottom of the sidebar, then enter your Apple ID and password.
2. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar. Your purchased apps appear.
3. Hold your pointer over the app and look for the more options button . Click the more options button , then choose Hide Purchase .
4. When you're asked if you're sure you want to hide the app, click Hide Purchase."

Those steps, and more for other devices, are from this article: Hide purchases from the App Store - Apple Support

Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Take care!
