Approved App not downloading on childs phone

Recently, and randomly when my son sends me a request to get a new app and i approve whether free or pay for it, the app downloads to my cell phone and not his. I've had him restart the phone, make sure he is connected to cellular in settings, turn off wifi and turn it back on. I don't know why it is doing this suddenly. Please help.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

App installation approval requests not coming through to my new iPhone from my son's iPad 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.
