Hi there,


Please see this instructions


You can prevent your child from being able to install or delete apps, make in-app purchases in apps installed from the App Store, and more.

  1. Open the Settings app, then tap Screen Time. 
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
  3. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases (or App Installations & Purchases).
  4. Choose a setting and set to Don't Allow.

You can also change your password settings for additional purchases from iTunes, App Store, Book Store, or Apple TV app. Under Require Password, choose Always Require or Don't Require.
