Approve a speech app download or in-app purchase when your child requests one from their child account. Apple sends the request to you through the “Ask to Buy” feature, and you approve it on your own iPhone or iPad.
Before You Begin
Is this the right article for you? If your loved one is under 18 and located in a state that passed the App Store Accountability Act, you’re in the right place!
- If you are not in one of these states, head over to Purchase In-App Features for Your Speech App.
You’ll need:
- A child Apple account already signed in on the QuickTalker Freestyle.
- A personal iPhone or iPad, signed in with your Family Organizer Apple Account, with Family Sharing turned on.
Request the App on the QuickTalker Freestyle
- Find the speech app in the App Store, then tap Get.
- Sign in with your child’s Apple Account, if you’re not already signed in.
- Tap Install on the pop-up.
- Tap Ask on the “Ask Permission” pop-up.
- Your request goes to your Family Organizer account. Continue to the next steps to approve it on your personal iPhone or iPad.
Approve the Request on Your Personal iPhone or iPad
- Open iMessage on your personal device.
- Open the request from your child’s iCloud account.
- Tap Review the Request.
- Tap Approve on the banner at the top of the App Store page that opens.
- Enter your parent Apple Account password, then tap OK.
- Return to iMessage and check that the request now shows “Approved.”
Check your QuickTalker Freestyle. The app will begin installing.
