  1. No prompt to approve child friends - Xbox One


    I've added my son to my Family and assigned him Child Default privacy settings in the Xbox One console. It says he can add friends with parent approval. However, when he tries to add a friend I am not prompted and his request is simply blocked. If I unblock
    friends in his customized settings, he can add whatever friends he wants, but I am still not promoted to approve them.

    I want my son to communicate and play games with his friends, but I need the ability to approve them. He is only 9 years old and I am not comfortable simply turning him loose on this thing. Please help...

    :)

    How to approve friendship for a child account?

    Hi! First do you have the child account set to allow friend friend requests or to block them? If it is set to allowed then the child can approve it themselves however If set to Blocked, the adult account must approve all friend requests. Here is a link

    how do i let my kids purchase items form avatar shop and add friends?

    so ( new to xbox world) just got xbox one for kids for holidays.

    Set u p account including my profile and then made one for each of two kids.

    set them to Child settings.

    however when they tried to buy item for their avatar, said was not allowed. There was no option for me to enter my passcode and approve???

    Also, when tried to add kids school friend..said was denied and again no option for adult to approve?

    Yet when they goto play again listed as 10+ i am asked for parental overide..which is good.

    What can i do to fix this?

    Thanx!

    Allow child to play Mine Craft with approved friends.

    Hello FireMedicLee,

    I found this but have not tried it yet. I would give this a shot.

    Changing Safety and Privacy settings:
    On your console, go to the Settings page and select Privacy.
    Choose "Change Settings".
    Choose a preset privacy group or choose "Customize".
    Online Friends – Other people on Xbox Live may want to add your child to their personal friends list. To manage approval of your child’s online friends,
    you can require these requests to be approved by you.
    *Choose "Approval not required" to allow your child to send and accept new friend requests.
    *Choose "Require Approval" to require that friend requests be approved by you. If you choose this option, you must also approve any new friend request that your child wants to send to other gamers.
    It will ask you to enter a password when a friend request is sent or approved.
    Communications – Manage who your child can communicate with on Xbox Live. Communication on Xbox Live includes chat, messages, and game invitations using
    voice, video, or text.
    Choose your level of security:
    Select "Everyone" to allow your child to communicate with anyone on Xbox Live.
    Select "Friends Only" to allow your child to communicate only with people on his or her friends list.
    Select "Blocked" to block everyone from communicating with your child. Your child will still receive new friend requests.
    To exit press the B on your controller, and then choose Save and Exit.

    Friend Approval for child accounts...

    You have to do it from the childs accounts profile settings if trying to do it from the webpage

    Or you can do it from his console if on a family plan then the family center

    Sign into his profile then follow those instructions
