We have a family group set up, with my son having to ask permission to buy anything.
He submitted an "ask to buy" request to me. I was doing something and missed the notification.
where do I go to get retrieve the request to authorise it?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.3
I was having the same problem. My son has an iPad Pro and I was getting the notifications from iCloud Family to approve his purchases on my iPhone 6. The notifications would appear for a couple of seconds and vanish. Didn't know where to go to find them and approve his purchase. Luckily, I read here an easy solution: on the iPhone 6, swipe down from the home screen and all the notifications will appear. You should see the ones from iCloud Family. Click on each one and it will take you to a screen where you can decline or approve the purchase. I had to repeat the process for each notification and re-enter my Apple ID each I approved. Hope this helps.
1-finger swipe down from the top of the screen to see all notifications. Then you can tap on the request and approve or disapprove.
Go to settings>General>Accessibility and turn Assistive Touch On. This will put a white button on your screen and you can double click and get to notifications from there. This might help.
But where can we find the request if it has been cleared from the Notification Center?
What if it is not in the Notification Center either?
