The Family Organizer must set you up as a second approver for Ask to Buy. click here ➜ Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Second Approver - Apple Support



Beyond that, there is no other Parent / Guardian feature within family sharing.

every time I want to buy a app on App Store it always says I need to ask my gurdian if someone could please help me that will be great thank you.

Help in what way?


If you are part of Family Sharing the Family Organizer can set up Ask to Buy for you.

If it is set up, only the Organizer or the secondary approver can approve the purchase.


There is no way to bypass it if that is what you are asking. You need to ask whoever set up the Family Sharing group, to either approve the purchase or turn off the option for your account.
