Hello! How do i turn off "ask to buy" for my daughter if I don't have an apple device for myself?
I mean, I bought the first apple device of the family for my daughter and I cant seem to find any resource to manage her Iphone via web interface. I don't have any other apple device at hand to turn ask to buy off.
Thanks!
iPhone 14
To manage family sharing and parental controls you must use Apple hardware as indicated in Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support. You had to have done that when setting it up so use the same equipment.

you're saying there is no way except to sign my kid out of their account and log in as myself everytime she wants to install a new app?

For the Ask to Buy feature to work, then your daughter must have been set up using Family Sharing from another Apple device. The Organizer of the Family Sharing plan is the person who set it up and can also shut the feature off. Who is listed as the Organizer under Family Sharing on your daughters phone?
Got it!
I found the approve in person message once they send the "ask to buy" notification
Another workaround I found to turn it on and off is just remove the child apple id from the phone, then add the guardian id, configure Ask to Buy and screen limits as desired, then remove the Guardian apple ID to finally add the child apple ID again.
So far so good.
Cheers!
Yes, that is a way which is basically using Apple hardware as I suggested. It is a pretty cumbersome method though and you also run the risk of melding data between your account and hers unless you know what you are doing. Most people don't so I didn't bother mentioning it for that reason.
Edited.
Correct! I used the Same device just swapped accounts.
Thank you!
Ask to buy without a guardian Apple device.
