Q: family sharing and app approval

Is there a page I can visit to check out pending child approvals? My son asks for approval but I receive no notifications.

    forgot to add... I was charged for an app I purchased then my son downloaded the same app, which I was also charged for (again). I thought the purpose of family sharing was exactly that..... family sharing. is this how family sharing works or did something go wrong?

    Make sure he is downloading it from your purchased list, as explained here: Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing.

     

    Also, there isn't a page that lists pending purchase requests that I know of.  Is your iCloud account the same as the iTunes store account that you are signed into on your device?

    Is your iCloud account the same as the iTunes store account that you are signed into on your device?

     

    I'm having the same issue, no notifications are issued. My iTunes acct. is linked to an email other than my icloud acct. email (which was set up much later than my iTunes acct.). However everywhere I can think to check it is my iTunes acct. name & email address that the notifications should go to. Anyone have an idea what to do?
