Ask to Buy Permission Requests not coming through.

I watched my child send a request to purchase, but it doesn't show up on my device as a Family Organizer. She is part of the Family, and this process used to work fine. Any suggestions?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

iOS 16 - parental controls / Ask to Buy not available to turn off My son is now 17 and I want to turn off App Approval - I've tried looking this up and have been completely unsuccessful. There are hundreds of posts clearing showing how to navigate to settings Open the Settings app. Tap your name. Tap Family Sharing. Tap Ask to Buy. Tap your family member's name. Use the toggle to turn on or turn off Ask to Buy. But I don't have an "Ask to Buy" option anywhere under his name. I'm the organizer, my wife is a Parent / Guardian, and my son's status is "Adult" - but there is no option here for Ask to Buy. Running iOS 16 - any ideas? I'm very technical - yet can't figure this out - so frustrating.

Kids can approve own Ask to Buy requests Hi, I have Ask to Buy set up on my tween’s iPhone. However, the permission request goes to every device my husband and I have, including a family iPad (9th gen) that the kids have access to. Therefore, they can approve their own Ask to Buy requests. How do I stop Ask to Buy requests from going to certain devices? Thanks for your help!
