Q: Family Sharing notifications only show on one device

I'm not sure if this has already been asked a few times, if so, then my bad!

 

I did research first but nothing obvious came up.

 

I just sent up Family Sharing as my young lad got his first iPad. I receive a notification on my iPad when he wants to download an app, but the notification only shows on my iPad, not any of my other devices or Mac.

 

As a rule, this isn't a massive deal; as my son normally asks me before trying to download; but I don't always have my iPad on me, but I always have my iPhone, which I'd rather receive the notification, although a devices would be better.

 

Has anyone else experiencing this, and if so, how did they fix it?

 

Ideally I don't really want to restore all my devices, to get it working.

 

For reference, I have two Apple ID's, one for iCloud and one for the App Store. Other than the notifications, this set-up doesn't appear to be a problem.
