Q: Can I share in-app-purchases with my child?
I have an iPad 2 for my son which we've had for the last 2 years. Up until last week, it was registered in my Apple ID. Last week I upgraded my iPad to IOS8, created a new Apple ID for my 4yo son in his name under my name then re-registered the iPad in my son's Apple ID. I have been able to re-download all the previously purchased apps, songs and books in my account into his account free of charge. But the only thing I am not sure about now is the in-app-purchases. My son tries to re-install an in-app purchase on his iPad by touching the option. It then says that if needs to ask my permission as the parent. He touches "Okay " then a message comes through to my iPhone saying that I need to pay a certain amount for the in-app-purchase that he wants that was previously paid in my account. Is it possible that any in-app-purchases previously purchased in my account can be shared into my son's account free of charge? Please let me know ASAP.
iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8, My son's ID, in-app-purchases.
