How can I manage permissions for apps in Family Sharing for different users?

I have ask to buy set up so my kids can only download approved apps. How do I block apps from my younger child that I have approved for my older?

How to turn off parental permissions for 18+ family member. My son is 18 going on 19 and he's included in our family sharing. Until he was 18, I had parental controls set up on his phone and every time that he wanted to download an app, his phone would send me a message requesting permission for the app. It worked great. But, once he turned 18, I no longer find that feature necessary. I've completely turned off parental permissions. I removed my account from the App Store and signed him in under his own name. I think I've done everything I need to do, short of removing him entirely from the family sharing, and I'm still receiving requests for app approval. What's wrong? How do I remove this feature?

Family Sharing - child account- adding an app As a parent I don’t see where I can approve the app. The child clicked on “ask permission”, but I don’t see where I can approve.

Family Sharing, unable to download app I have family sharing set up for my kid. first I tried to download an app and it would not let me under the kids profile. Wouldn't even display the "get" button to try to ask for review to purchase it. So, then I went under my account and purchased so I could do a shared app to the kids account. when I go into the App Store to pull down the shared app I am told "due to restrictions set from this device, the app cannot be downloaded." What restriction is set?

I haven't used that feature but I believe it should be specific to each Apple ID. Make sure each child has their own ID.
