Ask to buy

Why do my ask to buy requests for my kid go to my message and not a time sensitive notification? It is getting a little irritating!

This has been a huge bugbear of mine. You used to get notifications, now they come in the messages app, which most of the time lets you view the app and download it yourself, but not accept or decline for the person requesting.

I have found a workaround. If you add the contacts widget to your home screen and have the people who are likely to request at the top of the list in your favourites (in the phone app). The request will show in there and you will be able to approve or decline.
