Famliy sharing not working

My spouse recently got a game that must be purchased to download. It is available for family sharing, but I cannot see any of her media or purchases in family sharing. I've followed all the steps on the support pages; I'm signed in with the right account, updated iOS, etc. but the content just isn't there.

How can I access the shared content?

App sharing My sister downloaded a game that I also want. But it does not show up in her recent purchases. Family sharing is allowed for the game. I am not sure how to make it appear so I too can play.

Family sharing purchases I have an apple family sharing account, I’m the organiser (mum) My son purchased an app which supports family sharing (procreate dreams) and I want to share this with the rest of the family. I log on to his iPad, settings >family>sons account > purchases > sharing is turned on. When viewing sons settings from my family organiser account is says ‘purchases - not sharing’ when I click through it say ‘son shares purchases’ In the App Store I can not see sons app purchases. I restarted all the devices and still and no change. Any ideas before I smash 3 iPads with a hammer!

Family share in app purchases Can you share in-app purchases with family sharing? My son bought a bunch of games on my husband’s Apple ID and now we got him his own and we want to put all his games on it, but the games won’t restore in-app purchases even with family purchase sharing enabled
