Ask to buy not working We set up “ask to buy” for our child to ensure he doesn’t buy anything on the App Store without us knowing about it. It worked a few times, and now it doesn’t send us the notification. I had to turn off the setting to allow him to download an app or purchase a micro-transaction, and then turn it back on. Any suggestions to correct this problem?

Ask to Buy Not Working I have checked my family settings and my logon. Everything appears to be set up correctly, but I am still not receiving notifications when my child clicks “ask to buy”. Nor am I getting the option to approve on his device
