Family Sharing - kids app requests not being sent

Make sure notifications haven't been disabled. This article discusses notifications --> Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.

If an app or feature on your device is not working, it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution. See how to use Screen Time on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by clicking here --> Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● If this is a service, try disabling it and turning it back on.

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support then choose your model.

iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:

Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

Are you the 'Family Organizer'? I see conflicting documentation on whether a parent/guardian can approve or if only a Family Organizer can approve. The note that states only the family organizer can approve says the Organizer sets the payment method and limiting approval to Family Organizer prevents nasty iTunes billing surprises. We have the same problem and it appears to have recently reared its ugly head very recently (Ventura??)

I am in the same boat nothing is being sent

I've tried those as well, and nothing is helping. I still can't get any apps loaded to my child's ipad.

Same. My daughter sends request to download from her iPhone 12, I get nothing on my iPhone 14. It did display on my MacBook, which we rarely have with us.

Follower all the troubleshooting. All iOS up to date. This all started a couple months ago. I’m pretty sure it’s a glitch with Apple, since it used to work and we’ve never touched the settings.
