My kids wanted to install some apps on their iPads, so they asked for my permission through the App Store. However the buy requests never showed on my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 16) or my iPad Pro 10.5 (iPadOS 16). We tried multiple times with no success. Finally, I tried my Mac and it was showing there so I approved the purchases from there.
Notifications from the App Store are turned on my iPhone and iPad, so that's not the problem. They're all signed into the same iCloud account as the Mac too.
Any fix to this? This is very inconvenient. This page from Apple is not helpful either:
