Can I re-download an app shared by a family member?

Hi I have accidentally deleted my app shared by family purchase from my family member. Now I can't find how to re-download the same app without paying. Any help how to restore same app. App is still shared by family member.

This app is no longer shared with you I recently turned off Family Sharing and now a lot of my apps say "This app is no longer shared with you", so I go to the App Store to purchase them again, but the only option is "Update", which forces me to uninstall the apps completely. Is there a way I can use the apps without uninstalling them?

Why is my purchased app not sharing with my family member in Family Sharing? I followed the recommended steps from her iPad, but the version that downloads is the unpaid version instead of the paid version I already purchased My wife had an app already downloaded, but it was the unpaid version. We are on a family sharing plan. I then downloaded the same app and decided to pay for the extra features. My understanding is that i can share the purchased version with her. So I removed the app from her ipad, then followed the steps by going to Settings and finding myself and the app, and downloading it back onto her ipad. Once it was finished downloading I opened it to find that it was asking her to pay for the extra features. I chose “Restore Purchased” through the app and nothing happened. Am I misunderstanding the concept of “Sharing Purchased Apps” with family members on my family plan?

Family share in app purchases Can you share in-app purchases with family sharing? My son bought a bunch of games on my husband’s Apple ID and now we got him his own and we want to put all his games on it, but the games won’t restore in-app purchases even with family purchase sharing enabled
