How do I change my Google Play account for in app purchases?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To change your Google Play account for in-app purchases, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. I recently had to do this myself, so I can definitely share my personal experience with you.

Firstly, you’ll want to open the Google Play Store on your device. It’s usually a colorful triangle icon with a white shopping bag. Once you have it open, look for the circular profile icon in the top right corner. It should be your profile picture or a colored circle with your initials.

Tap on this circular profile icon, and you’ll be taken to a new screen where you can manage your Google Play account settings. Here, you’ll see a list of all the Google accounts that are currently linked to your device.

To change the account for in-app purchases, simply choose the account you want to use by tapping on it. If the account you want to use isn’t listed, you can add it by tapping on the “Add another account” option at the bottom of the list.

Once you’ve selected or added the desired account, you can now proceed to download the app again. Simply search for the app you want to download in the Google Play Store, and tap on the “Install” button. The app will then be downloaded and installed using the new Google account you selected.

It’s important to note that changing your Google Play account for in-app purchases will only affect future purchases made within the app. If you have already made purchases using a different account, those purchases will still be associated with that account and cannot be transferred.

In my case, I had to change my Google Play account for in-app purchases because I had recently switched email addresses. I found the process to be relatively straightforward and didn’t encounter any issues. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check your account settings to ensure that everything is set up correctly.

Changing your Google Play account for in-app purchases is a simple process. Just remember to go to the Google Play Store, tap on the circular profile icon, choose the account you want to use, and then download the app again.
