My daughter has a new iPhone 15 pro max she will be receiving for her birthday in the near future. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. How do I approve requests to install apps from my device or the apple website so she can use apps such as Netflix, Max, etc.?
She holds out her phone to you and asks you.
From: Set up Ask to Buy - Apple Support
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.
I don't use the service so I don't know anything more about it than what's in the article. If you continue to have problems ask Apple.
Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➞ Contact - Official Apple Support
If the presented options do not resolve your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

I selected Ask parent, but then nothing happens. It doesn't show an "Ask parent in person " statement. I set content and privacy restrictions slider to off (grayed out) and tried again. Still no "Ask parent in person". What did i miss?
So you have to click on the app. Like when you're in the store you cant just hit "get". You have to click on the app so that it is the whole page. Then click get and it should have the "ask in person" option.
I still want to be able to do this virtually via android. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.
I do know that you can't do this with an Android phone. Apple doesn't have absolute control of the software on those. You will have to approve in person on the child's device.
