Family sharing: share apps with Spouse, not kids

Setting up Family Sharing for app purchases between parent accounts while hiding them from the child account can be managed through Family Sharing settings. Ensure both parent Apple IDs are part of Family Sharing. On each parent's device, go to the App Store, tap your profile picture, then select Purchased to hide specific app purchases. To restrict app downloads on the child's device, navigate to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases, and choose "Don't Allow" for Installing Apps.

For Apple Arcade access, it should be available to all family members under Family Sharing. To maintain Ask to Buy for regular app purchases while allowing free access to Apple Arcade titles, enable Ask to Buy for the child's Apple ID under Family Sharing settings. Additionally, customize Screen Time settings to permit unrestricted access to Apple Arcade while keeping other app downloads under Ask to Buy control. If issues persist, contacting Official Apple Support for personalized assistance tailored to your family's needs is recommended.
