Apple Family Sharing Ask To Buy Not Working I had set up a guardian / child account via Apple Family Sharing & had no issues until 1-2 months ago. The child account with my child's apple id is signed into my child's iPad. I control via my own iPhone (signed in with my apple ID). We have ask to buy set up in Apple Family Sharing. For some reason, over the past 1-2 months, whenever my child attempts to download and app or purchase something in app & submits an ask to buy request it never shows up on my phone. Usually there is no error message, the ask to buy request seems to process but we just are not getting the request on my iphone. Any help would be appreciated

Ask to Buy (Children) Function I have three children with Ipod's and Iphones with a Family account. They use to request an app and I would approve it on my device and then they could download it. In the last few months this doesn't work. They request an app but the notification doesn't appear on my device. I have turned the Ask to buy on and off and changed many settings but just cant make it work anymore.

Have your daughter try signing out of iCloud and back in. If that doesn't work, you can try signing out of iCloud and back in.
