Family Sharing and Ask to buy along with Apple Music

Today is my 18th birthday and while now that I can leave family sharing and other stuff I still have to ask for permission to get apps which is kind crap. And I was woundering if I left the family sharing would ask to buy turn off also if I left the family sharing would any music I got/downloaded through the music app stay on my phone?

Ask to buy can be turned off by the Family Organizer without needing you to leave Family sharing.

But to answer your questions:

if I left the family sharing would ask to buy turn off also

Yes, as without the Family Sharing group, there would be no one to approve the purchase request


if I left the family sharing would any music I got/downloaded through the music app stay on my phone?

Depends.


If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, it should remain.

Music obtained through the Apple Music subscription service will be removed, unless you activate your own Apple Music subscription before leaving the Family Sharing group.
