Family - ask to purchase My family is set up to view screen time and set limits. We are using the ask to purchase option and the kids enter their password , it tells them they must ask. They his ask and no notification comes to me or my husband. A few years ago and different phones, we would get a notification to approve the download. What are we doing wrong?

Screen Time and Ask To Buy Prompting for Password on Kids Accounts Hello all, I have a strange issue that no one can seem to figure out. I have enabled Screen Time for two of my kids each with their own Apple ID's on each of their own devices and everything seems to work like it should except for when they ask for a Free App from the app store. When I have Ask to Buy setup and Screen Setup turned on when they ask for a Free App it prompts them for the Password for their iTunes account, if you enter the password (which they don't know) I get the request on my Phone to approve their request and when I approve it another password box asking for their iTunes account pops up on their device again. No clue why App Store is asking for the iTunes password account twice. If I turn off Screen Time and leave Ask to Buy on it works like it should, does not ask for any password. In Screen Time settings under Content & Privacy Restrictions - iTunes & App Store Purchases - Require Password - is set to Don't Require so why does it prompt for the password 2 different times? My device as Organizer is iPhone 13 Pro Max - iOS 16.2 The kid device is iPad Mini (6th Gen) - iOS 16.2 and iPhone 7 The issue is consistent across different devices for each of the kids each with their own accounts. So it does not seem to be HW or iOS related from what I can tell. Something with Screen Time is forcing the password. Has anyone else seen or had this problem?

Ask to Buy Permission Hi I used to receive my child’s ‘Ask to Buy’ requests through a notification, and it was easy to approve. However, now my child’s ‘Ask to Buy’ requests are coming through as a text message and not in my notifications. The text shows the App and only has the option to ‘view in App store’. If I view in the App Store, there is nowhere to ‘accept’ the request. How do you approve from a text message? or How can I receive the request in my notifications? Many thanks
