To share an app with your son, use family sharing features on your device. On iOS, go to Settings > Your Name > Family Sharing, and add your son's Apple ID. On Android, open the Google Play Store > Menu > Account > Family > Manage Family Members, and invite your son. Once set up, apps purchased by you will be available to him under the shared family library. This ensures he can access the app without purchasing it separately.
