How do I "unapprove" apps from the Ask to Buy list?

Where is the list of approved apps kept based on Ask to Buy requests? I need to revoke approval for some of the apps that were accidentally approved for my children.

Hello muddyfeat,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with Ask to Buy. The related articel at the top of the page is a great place to start:


"How to approve or decline a request

If you're the family organizer, use your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac to approve or decline a request.

  1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. Can't find your Ask to Buy notifications?
  2. Approve or decline the purchase.
  3. Parent's iPhone showing a button to approve and a button to decline a request to buy a book from Apple Books.
  4. If you approve, sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.

What happens next

After the item is purchased, it's added to your child’s account.2 If you turned on purchase sharing, the item is also shared with the rest of the family group.

If you decline a request, your child receives a notification that you declined the request. If you dismiss the request or don't make the purchase, the child will need to make the request again. Requests that you decline or dismiss are deleted after 24 hours.

Where to find your Ask to Buy requests

If you miss an Ask to Buy notification, you can find the request in Notification Center on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac."
