Q: How can I see in-app purchase history for members of Family Sharing?

I am using Family Sharing and am trying to view Purchase History from the members of my family. I know that within the App Store (on my phone) I can tap into "updates" and view the full purchases from an individual family members there. But I don't see a way to view in-app purchases made by those individuals. Within the iTunes app on my computer, the Purchase History only displays purchases made by my personal Apple ID.

How can I view the ENTIRE purchase history (including in-app purchases) for Family Share members?

You need to login to the members accounts to see what they've bought.

You can view an iTunes account's full purchase via a computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC - Apple Support
Or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

(What shows in the Updates is not necessarily a complete list of bought/downloaded apps - apps that have been removed from the store won't show, nor will apps that the person has hidden from the cloud, nor will incompatible apps show.)

I've looked at both of those locations and they show my PERSONAL purchases but do not show in-app purchases by members of Family Sharing. That's the info I'm trying to find (without having to actually logon to the system with the Apple ID of that family member). I can see the history of "full apps" but not the in-app purchases.

That's a bummer...the point of Family Sharing was to try and allow for autonomy without having to share IDs/Passwords. Sadly this is another downside that may have me just turn off this feature. Oh well...thanks for the insight.
