I added her to my family sharing, but she was never set up as a kids account. Even after removing her, she still needs to ask my permission to download apps. WTF?
Other details, she has two emails, the one she is using now isn't the one listed on my family sharing... however, when she is trying to download apps, it's asking me for permissions, only I never get notifications. Some stuff is silly.
iPhone SE, iOS 16
Hello pepethebull,
When you look at members of the family, does it show that hers is an adult account? If so, you might try making her another approver to see if it refreshes her connection to Family Sharing:
"How to choose another approver
The family organizer can give another parent or guardian in the group over the age of 18 permission to manage Ask to Buy requests. Only one adult needs to manage each purchase, and after the purchase is approved, it’s final.
