Your parents/guardians have probably set up that setting within the Screen Time restrictions for you, and you likely won’t be able to bypass that on your own. You can also go ask your parents/guardians to change that setting.


Or if you are above the age of 13, you can go ask your parents to remove you from Family Sharing, but it may be at their discretion.

Your parents likely set it up to restrict your purchasing. Without Ask To Buy turned on, you have relatively unlimited access to their credit or debit card to make purchases, so understandably they would want it activated. ;-) You need to learn how it works so you can send them requests to allow you to make purchases.

If your parent or guardian is nearby, you can tap "approve it in person" and they can approve the purchase directly from your device.
