App purchases

Please can anyone help. I have a son with a learning disability and I need to control his spend of app purchases. I have switched on family sharing, but because he is an adult the system doesn’t show Ask to Buy. Does anyone know how I can control his spend?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi LindyLou57,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about preventing purchases. With Family Sharing, the organizer can turn off purchase sharing using the steps here:


1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Family Sharing.
2. Tap Purchase Sharing, then turn off Share Purchases with Family.
3. If the organizer wants to turn off purchase sharing entirely, they can tap Stop Purchase Sharing.

See more about that here: Stop sharing purchases with your family members on iPod touch - Apple Support


You can see how to remove a payment method from his device as well here: Remove a payment method from your Apple ID - Apple Support


Thanks.
