    Approve or decline a request

    If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device or Mac:

    1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
    2. Approve or decline the purchase.
    3. If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.

    After it's purchased, the item is added to the family member’s account and shared with the rest of the family group. If a family member downloads a previous purchase again, downloads a shared purchase, installs an update, or uses a redemption code in the store, the organizer won't get a notification.

    If you decline the request or don't make the purchase, it will be deleted after 24 hours, and the child will need to make the request again.
