If you have concerns about friends and family making in-app purchases or accidentally making an in-app purchase, consider disabling In-App Purchases. Having this feature turned on makes it easy for users to purchase features of apps like game tokens in a game or upgrade to a paid version of an app. They also provide a great experience in terms of not having to leave the app to make a purchase, in the App Store.

This feature, however, has cost many users a significant amount of money especially because of children making in-app purchases, without realizing they are actually spending money. It also helps curb the temptation of having to spend money while using the apps. The best way to avoid all this is by disabling in-app purchases of the apps on your device.

  1. Open the Google Play Store application.
  2. Tap on your profile icon.
  3. Select Settings in the menu.
  4. Select Require authentication for purchases.
  5. Choose one of the options: For all purchases through Google Play on this device, Every 30 minutes or Never.
  6. Enter your Google password.

  1. This is useful but my iphone already asks me for my accounts password any time I want to make a transaction. Does anyone know how to turn this off? The levels of geometry dash lite are designed to sync up with the music, making for an even more intense and satisfying experience.
