Anyone got a reason or solution for the fact that my son’s app requests (free or payable) are not coming through to my iPhone as his parent.
It was working fine after we set the iPad up from new at Christmas but about 3 months in I have stopped receiving them. I cannot think of any settings change I have made and have tried many of the solutions I have already Googled. Any advice much appreciated.
Many thanks
iPhone 6, iOS 9
Here is a solution where editing the name of a mobile device resolved occurrences of this issue. It may still work but I haven't seen many people mention this issue recently. It has worked for at least 20 people (plus those here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254467828 - and likely many more who never provided feedback after seeing that solution). It isn't something that Apple has in its documentation so I am putting it in a separate post for those who are interested in exploring beyond Apple's formally documented solutions (although several people have reported they were told about it by official Apple Support).
Go to: Settings > General > About > Name
Change the name
Then "Done" and retry.
You can also achieve the same thing by resetting network settings but that will also reset other network features.

Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.
Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:
● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.
Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support
Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support
● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

This still doesn’t work. Does it have to do with being listed as a guardian but NOT the manager of the account?
