How to Enable & Disable In-App Purchases on iPhone and iPad - Rapid Repair
This guide is just what you need if you are dealing with a smart kid who has the habit of making in-app purchases to amp up gaming or a naughty sibling who never hesitate in unlocking even the most extravagantly priced packs in games or other Apps. It is better to take control of the in-app purchases in such cases and prevent unnecessary expenses on your credit card. Rather than losing your cool every time a purchase is made without your approval, read on to know how to enable/disable in-app purchases in iPhone or iPad at your own will.
Putting a shield on the in-app items to prevent anyone from buying them without your consent is quite easy, thanks largely to Screen Time (formerly Restrictions). For those who are unfamiliar with this, Screen Time is the built-in parental control feature that lets you restrict several features of your device.
From restricting app deletion to limiting adult content to hiding apps or even the entire App Store, Screen Time can help you control most features of your device. If you are looking for a way to boost content privacy or enable restrictions to stop anyone from breaking your set rule, you should take advantage of this parental control feature.
To prevent anyone from overturning the changes set inside Screen Time, the built-in parental control feature allows you to set up a passcode that can be different from your device’s passcode. That means that even if someone has the access to your device, they won’t be able to get inside the Screen Time setting. Long story short, you can fully bank on it to keep your changes safeguarded against prying eyes.

That’s all there is to it! From now onwards, no one will be able to make in-app purchases on your iPhone or iPad without your permission. If you happen to change your mind later and wish to allow in-app purchases on your iOS/iPadOS device, go back to the same Screen Time setting and then choose the Allow option in the end.
As we explained above, Screen Time is a highly efficient parental control designed to enable you to control several features of your device. Apart from preventing the authorized access to the apps and features, it can also play a pivotal role in letting you keep a track of the device usage.
For instance, you can keep a tab on the daily device usage, set communications limits, and even activate the downtime to stop anyone from using the device after a specific time. So, depending on your needs, you should feel free to fully customize it.
While there is no dearth of advanced third-party parental control apps like OurPact (free) and Questodio (free), none can match the simplicity and the ease of use offered by Screen Time. Whatever changes you make on one device syncs across iDevices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac linked with the same iCloud account. As a result, you can keep a track of how much time the device is used for or the enabled settings from across synced devices.
What’s more, Screen Time aka Restrictions has been there on iOS for a long time now. So, even if you are using the old versions of iOS like iOS 13 and iOS 12, you can still use this feature to take control of your device – which is yet another plus from a user-experience perspective.
