Hey there, praweena17,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


Ask to Buy is an integral part of the Screen Time features on your child's iPhone. We want to help get this working as expected! The best resource for this issue is going to be here: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support, so we'd recommend pulling that up as we share some information that should help.


To start, we want to make sure that everything is set up as expected for this feature to work. The first step in that process is to ensure that Family Sharing is set up and that your child is part of your Family Sharing group. This article will walk you through the steps for that: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support Once you have that set up and looking good, you can double check that you've gone through the steps in the section titled "How to turn on or turn off Ask to Buy" in the first article we shared with you above.


Completing these steps is the best way to cover all of our bases and get everything set up in the best way possible.


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
