A parent is configuring a child's iPhone using Apple's built-in Screen Time and Family Sharing features. They want to prevent the child from installing any apps without parental approval. Which feature enables this?
- A.Content and Privacy Restrictions set to block apps entirely, because the switch always covers the store
- B.Communication Limits, which always blocks store messaging and approval prompts
- C.Guided Access, because it always pins the handset to one app and blocks the store
- D.Ask to Buy, which requires the parent's approval for all app downloads and in-app purchases initiated from the child's account
Why D is correct
Ask to Buy is a Family Sharing feature that routes all App Store download requests (free and paid) from a child's account through the parent for approval. The parent receives a notification and can approve or decline. Guided Access is an accessibility feature that restricts the device to one app for focus/kiosk use. Communication Limits controls who the child can contact, not app installations. Setting Content & Privacy Restrictions to block all apps globally would prevent the child from using any apps at all, not just restrict new installs.
