How do I turn off ask permissions on Xbox?

Answered by Willie Powers

To turn off the ask permissions feature on Xbox, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Start by signing in to your Family page using an adult Microsoft account. This is important as only adults have the permissions to make changes to the family settings.

2. Once you are signed in, locate the child’s name for whom you want to turn off ask permissions. This can usually be found under the Family section or Family settings.

3. After finding the child’s name, select “More options” or a similar option that allows you to access additional settings or options for that child.

4. Look for the “Spending” section and click on it. This is where you will find the settings related to purchasing and permissions.

5. Within the Spending section, you should see an option called “Ask to buy.” This feature is designed to require organizer approval for any purchases made by the child.

6. To turn off the ask permissions, toggle the switch for “Needs organizer approval to buy things” to the “Off” position.

7. Once you have switched off the ask permissions, the child will no longer need to seek approval for purchases. They will be able to make purchases without needing any further authorization.

It’s worth noting that turning off ask permissions gives the child more freedom to make purchases without seeking approval. Make sure to have open discussions with your child about responsible spending and monitor their purchases periodically to ensure they are making appropriate choices.

Remember, it’s important to be mindful of your child’s spending habits and set appropriate limits and boundaries to ensure a healthy and balanced approach to gaming and purchasing on Xbox.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you turn off ask permissions on Xbox successfully. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
