“Ask to Buy”

I press the “Ask to Buy” on the game in Apple Arcade my son wants to play but the message isn’t coming to my phone. Sometimes it goes to my wifes phone. Is there a way to set it to always go to my phone?

Maybe Apple Support's articles (links below) can help:


Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"How to turn on or turn off Ask to Buy

If you're a parent or guardian, use your own device to turn Ask to Buy on or off".

or

How to choose another approver

The family organiser can give another parent or guardian in the group over the age of 18 permission to manage Ask to Buy requests. Only one adult needs to manage each purchase, and after the purchase has been approved, it's final.
