Ask to Buy

I have followed all the online instructions to set up Ask to Buy. Yet I don’t receive the notifications from my son. What do I need to do to correct this?

iPad Air, iOS 12

Hello Huzish,


If Ask to Buy isn't working, read the suggestions in this document --> If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support


Make sure notifications haven't been disabled. This article discusses notifications --> Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.


Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● If this is a service, try disabling it and turning it back on.

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support then choose your model.

iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

Mac: Ways to start up your Mac - Apple Support


If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:


Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
