purchased games for child account

I’m a parent managing a child account. My child is the Oculus user. She wants to play Beat Saber so I purchased it from the store and gave her permission to use it, but in her headset it just says “Request sent.” I’m sure I must be missing a step, but I have no idea how to get her access to this game. 

I hope someone can help!

I’m having the exact same issue with my son’s account.  I gave permission for Fruit Ninja 2 and bought the game, but on his headset it still says “request sent” (even though I accepted) and bought the game.  What am I missing or not doing?!? 🤷‍:male_sign:

 I find the interface terrible and confusing between Meta accounts, parental supervision, and the Oculus app. 😡

I had to switch to my account before the headset recognized that the game was available.

Also just to note, supervised accounts can only play the basic Beat Saber, if you purchase any music add-on packs the supervised account can't seem to access them. I don't know if that's a common DLC problem on the Quest or what.

Same here, m really struggling to know how to manage my child’s account. She’s requested games, I’ve approved and given access, then purchased with her gift card but it is now only showing on my profile and not hers. I know I’m missing something but I followed the instructions given so don’t know what it is. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you all for the replies! I ended up just requesting a refund. I never was able to get it to work.

Does not help with Beat Saber’s DLC. 

Thanks for reaching out, @Jabrwock! We'd like to express that downloadable content (DLC) and addon content purchased separately from the original app cannot be shared via App Sharing.
