Instead of getting "Ask to Buy" requests, my step-son's iPad is directly asking for my password
My husband and I are set up as parents on our individual iPads and my 12 yr old step-son has a child's icloud account and is showing under our "Family". When I first set it up, I tested trying to download an app from him iPad that we had previously purchased, and it said something like "will ask your parents" on his and "Will is requesting ..." on mine/ours. That was great! But now, when he tries to download something, it's simply asking for my icloud password on his iPad.
#1 - I'd rather not deal with that every 5 minutes when he finds a new app.
#2 - He lives with his Mom, so the way it is now, he can't get anything new until I see him and put my password in.
I checked under his name on my iPad and "Ask to Buy" is on. Under "Restrictions", the password is set to immediate. If I turn OFF password, will it go back to the way it was before? Simply Asking to Buy and either NO password at all, or me having to put it in? Either would be fine, but NO password is better. Especially since my husband may "Approve the Request" and he will never remember my password.
Thank you in advance.
