My Parent turned off Family Purchase Sharing but my Ask to Buy is still on. How do we fix it?

So my mother turned off our family purchase sharing so that I could buy things without needing permission, but my phone still asks every time I try to buy something. We have checked multiple times but it doesn’t turn off for some reason. Is there a way we can fix this?

Ask To Buy and Purchase Sharing are separate things. Turning off purchase sharing, just means you no longer have access to purchases made by other people in the family group, nor they have access to your purchases.


Ask To buy has nothing to do with this, and must be turned off independently of Purchase Sharing.
