How is my child installing TikTok and Cash app without my permission or knowledge when I've set up Parental Controls and Family Sharing?

• You do have Ask to Buy. This will ask for your permission if an app can be downloaded from the App Store. Once a child is allowed to download it the first time, it will no longer require permission to download again. Even though it is call Ask to Buy, it also includes downloading free apps. Apple refers to anything downloaded from the App Store as a Purchase, that is why it will also show in the Purchase History.

• Any child that uses TikTok, also needs to have Parental Control enabled on the TikTok site. They can offer much more specific restrictions such as communications on their platform and restrictions in their feeds that Apple is not able to do with Screen Time.

TikTok Controls

• For a child that does not want to follow rules, then you have the option of removing the apps to make them earn your trust. You can prevent ANY apps from being installed by going to:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps

• Apps are just one aspect where children could be put in danger by communicating with bad actors. You should also restrict communication on the device to only those people that are in their Contacts. This not only restricts Phone contact, but also Messages from unknown characters.

Hello, check if you set up screen time for your child, after that scroll down and click content and privacy, after that click Apple Store media web and games, click on Apps and set your preferred age range for the child, if they already installed a app over their age range, the app will be deleted off their phone. Hope this helps!
