Can’t Download Kindle App on Kid Under 12 IPad

I want to share Kindle books with my child who is under 12. I’ve created a child profile for her on Amazon but her IPad will not let me download the Kindle IOS app bc it is “Restricted to children over 12”. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

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.

Family Sharing, unable to download app I have family sharing set up for my kid. first I tried to download an app and it would not let me under the kids profile. Wouldn't even display the "get" button to try to ask for review to purchase it. So, then I went under my account and purchased so I could do a shared app to the kids account. when I go into the App Store to pull down the shared app I am told "due to restrictions set from this device, the app cannot be downloaded." What restriction is set?

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.

Hi there

See This on how to turn off age restrictions for the Kindle app only

Go to Settings, then tap Screen Time.
Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
Choose the settings that you want for each feature or setting under Allowed Store Content.
