En Familia offers us a great way to share the account with our family and in this sense we must give a bit of shopping freedom to family members who are within the same account, even if you are always the one who has the last word. In this case we will see how to approve or reject Family Member purchases with Request to purchase.
For this we have to be clear that this is focused on the little ones at home, since in all cases the organizer is the person in charge of approving or not the operation and this implies purchases in the iTunes Store, iBooks Store or App Store, purchases within the app itself or storage in iCloud.
To activate it obviously we have to have the account active In Family and this is done from Settings> «our name»> Configure “In family. From iOS 10.2 or earlier, we will click on Settings> iCloud> Configure "In family". Once we have it we can activate the option to Activate Request the purchase.
How to Activate Request the purchase
This is very simple and is designed so that those under 18 years old to your Family group and with this what is achieved is that they cannot make purchases without our permission, since they are using our account. One detail to take into account is that if we deactivate Request the purchase for a relative who is already 18 years or older, then we will not be able to activate it again so you can install, download and make purchases independently.
To activate it we simply have to click on Settings> our name> With family> Request the purchase. In this section we will see the name of all the family members that we have listed in Family Members who you can have up to 6 participants. Also from this section we can configure other shared functions such as: Share Purchases, Apple Music, Storage in iCloud or Share location.
