In-app purchases not working with Family Sharing

downloaded an app and purchased to unlock things in the app for my child. Now my child has their own device but I cannot seem to transfer the purchases. He can download the app but everything I already bought with my Apple ID is locked. His Apple ID is added to my family and app/ purchase sharing is turned on so I’m not sure why the purchases in the app are not transferred. (Specifically talking about the Lego duplo apps) .

Hi brennacelene,


Purchase sharing within apps may vary by the app developer. To confirm are other apps you've purchased under your Apple ID able to be shared through Family Sharing?


If so, Family Sharing is working as expected, and we'd advise reaching out to the app developer to confirm their policy on in-app purchases and Family Sharing.


Take care.
