Ask to buy

I have family sharing set up and all working great, but suddenly when my daughter asks for an app in the App Store the request goes to my iPad when it used to go to my iPhone. Same apple id, all looks fine, and the change happened suddenly. How do I make the request go back to my phone?

Tap Family. If you don't see Family, tap your name, then tap Family Sharing. 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.
