I have an iPhone and an iPad that mirrors my iPhone, when I setup ask to buy for my daughter the request notification only goes to the iPad and not my iPhone…any ideas how to get the notification to go to the iPhone instead of the iPad?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Use Siri on your iPhone Only:
Is your iPad at hand? If so, disable Siri on it, and then keep it enabled on this device.

Yeah checked everything in that article first. My iPhone shows that the ask to buy option is enabled and when I turn it off and then back on from my iPhone her iPhone gets the notification that she has to ask for permission to download apps. But when she downloads an app the request only goes to my iPad.

"Ask to Buy notification not popping up on my iPhone: So disabling Siri on the iPad worked!…that’s a weird connection, not sure what Siri has to do with children’s app requests…thanks for the help!"

Why the Fix?:
If mirrored, the iPad is the mother of these two devices. And, with that being said, it goes to the iPad. Disable Siri, and it will go to your other other device (your iPhone) for the prompt.
Try changing the name of your device and your child’s device and try again. That’s what worked for me - suggested by Apple Support :)

Thank you! Changing names worked for me!
This worked! Changed the name on each of our phones and requests started coming back in again. I did not miss denying the 50 requests for robux a day my one kid sends.
