when i download certain apps it says that i need to send a request to my parents to download the app. The only problem is that this account is in no way connected to my parents. How do i stop this from happening? this only happened after i got a new phone shipped to me from apple.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2
Greetings Tanner.cardell,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
From your question, I understand that you are not able to download certain apps without getting parents permission. This sounds like you are part of Family Sharing and the family organizer has the Ask to Buy feature turned on.
To check and see if you are part of a Family Sharing group, use the instructions in the following article.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
