You need Apple hardware to use Ask To Buy. You can approve on the child's device.


From: Set up Ask to Buy - Apple Support


See the section below for how to get approval in person.


How children or teens can make a request with Ask to Buy

1. To buy or download an item, tap the price or Get button. Or if you're using an Apple Watch, double-click the side button, then enter your passcode.

2. If asked, enter your Apple ID and password.

3. Tap Ask. If your parent or guardian is nearby, you can tap "approve it in person" and they can approve the purchase directly from your device.

4. After your parent or guardian buys the item, it downloads to your device automatically.
