I am an Android user but my daughter got an iPhone. I have an apple account, so upon setting up her phone, I agreed to Ask to Buy when I was prompted to opt in.
Now she wants to download apps and I would like to approve it but there's no way to do so without Apple devices it seems.
I can not let her have any apps if I can't turn this off or to be able to approve.
Can you tell me how I can achieve this?
One option is to approve on her device directly.

See the section below for how to get approval in person.
How children or teens can make a request with Ask to Buy
1. To buy or download an item, tap the price or Get button. Or if you're using an Apple Watch, double-click the side button, then enter your passcode.
2. If asked, enter your Apple ID and password.
3. Tap Ask. If your parent or guardian is nearby, you can tap "approve it in person" and they can approve the purchase directly from your device.
4. After your parent or guardian buys the item, it downloads to your device automatically.
The account management features for the Android interface are very limited. You would have to ask Apple if there is a way for you to disable Ask To Buy.
