If you want kids to get permission before downloading or buying new content, set up Ask to Buy. You can't use Ask to Buy to prevent kids from downloading content that someone in your family group has already purchased.
Some apps, content, and subscriptions aren't available in all countries and regions. Find out what's available in your country or region.
In order to share in-app purchases from participating apps, make sure that Share My Purchases is turned on for the account that made the purchase, as well as the account they want to share the purchase with. Learn more about the different types of in-app purchases.
