My child on Family Sharing is unable to download apps I have just set up my 6 year old as a family member, with new apple account. There are some apps, like Bbc iplayer, that are not available to download on her device for her. I’ve tried to look at the Content Privacy settings but nothing is working. Is it because of her age? I was able to download on my 9 year olds devise. If it’s her age, how can I change this? Any other advice welcomed.

How can I adjust age restrictions for specific apps on my child's iPhone? My child is age 15 and would like to download instagram, which is rated as 13+. I have set her at age 12+ for app restrictions, because I don't want her to have access to 17+ apps at this time. Is there a way I can access an inbetween age restriction, or to override this restriction to allow a couple specific apps that I feel are appropriate for her?

How is my child installing TikTok and Cash app without my permission or knowledge when I've set up Parental Controls and Family Sharing? I checked my 13 yo sons iphone the other day and hes got a number of apps that not only not have never been installed on any of our devices before but he's trying to connect cash app to tiktok, which is a HUGE SAFETY RISK. People sell drugs on social media and many children have died from overdoses and fent laced drugs that have been sent from Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, etc. I have people try to sell ME drugs on social media all the time. Why am I having to deal with this when I set things up to have him ask me to install? Is there some idiotic default that allows free apps to be downloaded and installed even when the user is a child and parental controls have supposedly been set? Why would app installs be enabled by default? IS IT POSSIBLE TO SET UP PARENTAL CONTROLS AS THEY SHOULD BE WHICH IS TO ASK ME BEFORE THEY INSTALL ANY APPS? Why is this even a thing? I get that some parents might want to allow their kids to download free apps but the default set up for a child should be to ASK BEFORE INSTALLING, especially when they are potentially dangerous portals to strangers having access to my children. Apple you really dropped the ball. I am severely disappointed in this huge glaring safety issue.

Is your daughter’s iPhone/iPad/Mac part of your own account? If so have you adjusted parental restrictions accordingly? Does your daughter have her personal information (such as birthdate) correctly entered?

There are all manner of things that can affect this request for adult permission.
