Hi
I am using "Ask permission" to let my daughter install apps on her iPhone and I´m very satisfied. I have granted access for an app some months ago, but now we have decided not to use that app and therefor I would like to remove the approval for this specific app. Is this possible?
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.4, Daughter has iPhone 6
I tried this on my daughters phone, but it doesn't work. I can hide the app, but when I search for the app on appstore, from her phone, it can be installed again without asking permission. Any more suggestions?

You can switch Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps: OFF
Note: You need to enable restriction passcode to make changes here.
Don't forget the passcode otherwise you have to restore as new which will wipe all the data.
Doesn´t that prevent her from installing further apps. I only want to deny this specific app exclusively. Otherwise I want to keep the "Ask permission"-function for new apps that she wants to install.
No. You have to delete the app from her device, then hide the purchased app from the App Store.
Thanks for the fast reply. Do I need to hide it from her account or from mine?
If you are using Family sharing with your daughter then your App Store account.
Unless she has her own.
Ask permission - Post deny
