How do I disable in app purchases on Android?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To disable in-app purchases on Android, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the three horizontal lines at the top-left corner to open the menu.
3. Scroll down and select “Settings” from the menu.
4. In the Settings menu, tap on “Parental controls.”
5. If you haven’t set up parental controls before, you’ll need to create a PIN code. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a PIN code.
6. Once the PIN code is set, tap on “Parental controls” again.
7. Toggle the switch for “Parental controls” to enable it.
8. Enter your PIN code when prompted.
9. Scroll down to the section labeled “In-app purchases” and tap on it.
10. Select “Don’t allow” to disable in-app purchases completely.
11. You can also set a password for every purchase by selecting “For all purchases through Google Play on this device.”
12. Exit the settings menu, and in-app purchases will now be disabled on your Android device.

It’s important to note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Android you are using and the device manufacturer. However, the general process should be similar across most Android devices.

Disabling in-app purchases can help prevent accidental or unauthorized purchases, especially if you have children using your device. It provides an added layer of security and control over your app purchases.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
