apple credit purchases

In my family, purchase sharing has not been enabled, but the parent and the organiser still receive an email about my purchases. Does this email still get sent even if purchase sharing has been disabled? I do not want my family members seeing all the purchases I make in games or in the app store. Is there also a way for me to prevent apple invoices from being sent?

“Billing problem” “There is a billing problem with a family member's previous purchase.Ask the family organizer to update their billing information.” My sister was the family organizer but she kicked me off of it to see if it would work but still didn’t work and on our family thing we didn’t even enable purchase sharing either. I cant even update any of my apps and some of them I can’t access because they NEED to be updated but it won’t let me, can someone tell me how to fix this?

In App Purchases with Family Purchase Sharing On Hello, Yesterday, I made a series of in app purchases in one of my games that I play regularly. Prior to these purchases, I loaded an Apple store gift card into my account so when I got charged for the purchases, it would subtract from this balance. After these purchases, I confirmed that my app store balance was correctly charged because I witnessed the balance go down after each purchase. However, me and my family have Family Sharing turned on, as well as purchase sharing. After my purchases, the family organizer, my father, is claiming that his credit card that he has connected to his account was charged, even though I had loaded a gift card into mine and saw my account balance go down after each purchase. I can confirm that I always had enough in my balance, and accounted for tax each time, so the credit card would never be charged. My question is what is going on here? Why is the credit card being charged when I had an app store balance that was also charged. Shouldn’t my balance take priority? Is my father actually being charged for these purchases as well because he says he gets emails for every purchase that I make and gets billed to him. Thank you

Payment sharing purchases I am the organizer of our family account with my dad and my little brother. I didn’t realize that payment sharing was enabled and received an email and receipt that I’ve been charged for Disney+. Now I have disabled payment sharing, but I’m wondering if I will continue to be charged for my dad’s Disney+ subscription since my card was the card used initially to subscribe.

If the organizer's credit card is on file, they will get an invoice.
