Approve in Person
When approving my kids games they want to download, the "approve in person" option is not showing up. How can I fix it so this option appears Sheff approving downloads?

I'm a household of one, so I don't use Family Sharing (FS). I see many questions here in the App Store forum about FS, it seems many folks don't understand it. I do know that it was intended for use for a family where everyone has their own device. It works better that way. If you had an Apple device the child's request would show up on your device. But I see in Apple's knowledge base article regarding Ask To Buy that there is an option to Approve it in person if the parent is nearby.
An internet search led me to this answer;
"Make sure the app your child would like to download is in full screen (tap on it before you tap GET) Once it's full screen tap get, then Ask, (It will ask for Touch ID first if it is turned on) and at the top select Approve in person from the message displayed."
