Ask to buy not working in family account

Ask to Buy is not working on family account. My 11 year old attempts to make a purchase the prompt shows the request is coming to me and then I never see it.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Hello Applelukewarm,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


These steps may help:


"If your Ask to Buy requests are missing

If you miss an Ask to Buy notification, you can find the request in Notification Center on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you still don't see your Ask to Buy requests, check your Family Sharing settings, check which Apple ID you're signed in with, and make sure that you're on a supported device.

Open Notification Center on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Look for Ask to Buy requests in the Family section of Notification Center. 

  • From the Lock Screen, swipe up from the middle of the screen.
  • From any other screen, swipe down from the center of the top of your screen."

If the issue persist, can you provide a few more details? When did you first notice this? What is your exact iOS version? Also, which device and OS is your child using?


Cheers!
