Q: Review pending app approval requests?

Is there anyway to review pending app approval requests? I will often get a request to approve an app from one of my kids which I can't respond to immediately. When I go back to notifications to approve it, it's gone and I can't get back to it. Is there anyway I can get Apple to list all of the pending app approval requests so I can handle them in batch?

 

Thanks,

    Try going to System Preferences then to Notifications then Family sharing. If "Show in Notification Center:" is off, turn it on or "0 Recent Items" turn it to a higher number.

    also try turning "Alerts" on, if its an alert it shouldn't go from your desktop.

    I hope this helps you.

    Thank you for this suggestion. I have switched the alert style to "Alerts" and I have upped the recent items from 5 to 10. I will have my kids make a request later today and see what happens. If it fixes the problem, I will let you know. Thanks again.
