App Store Password Required

That doesn’t help as we parents want Screen Time turned on and Ask to Buy turned on as well. Why should a password be required if a parent is having to approve the “Ask to Buy?” The child shouldn’t have to enter a password if the parent approves it!

Yes!! It’s so frustrating! It means I have to physically have the device in hands and putting it in or giving them access to the password (which feels like it defeats the purpose of anything anyway) my 8 and 10 year olds are perfectly capable of requesting a download without my presence. 🙄

for the child that doesn’t need to enter a password, his Password Settings under Media & Purchases are available to change, whereas for my other child his are greyed out…

Try this:

On the iPad of your child, where his Password Settings under Media & Purchases is greyed out…

Tap App Store -> tap his profile -> scroll down -> log out.

Wait a few minutes, 5 minutes or so.

Then log in again.

This did not work after doing it. It says it requires password every time installing an app or update. Until the child is 13 years or older.

I just turned off the screen time from my iPad and now my daughters require password is off! Your welcome parents!
