Summary: Smartphone Games keep your children happy, but before you know it they have driven you in red credit card with the purchase of virtual items. Concern with this tip that it does not come to that.
Developers of mobile apps and games often make their money by showing ads, but also try to entice inside the app purchases.
Purchasing a new look for your race car or a new weapons for your ship is like a red rag to a bull, bull as a child that has just been installed.
Some developers are particularly adept at soak money from users who are not old enough to be able to use a credit card. The UK Office of Fair Trading has even launched an investigation into potentially misleading marketing specifically aimed at children.
This type of advertising may have some air: as a parent it is your responsibility to ensure that your offspring can not just use your credit card. The problem is: if you bought the appwinkel Google Play apps you’ll need to use your credit card. And once that credit is docked, it is easy to make other purchases participate.
Unfortunately, you can not completely turn off the purchases of items within apps in Android, but you can add a password. This is done as follows:
Open the Google Play app on your smartphone or tablet. Now go to Settings, using the button in the upper right corner of the screen. You will now see the menu the option Password (password to restrict purchases) appear. Check this option.
a pop-up window on the screen where you have to confirm the password. your Google account appears Now you need to enter a password if you want to make a purchase. Within an app Check afterwards as if there is a checkmark the option. The lock can only be removed if you have the password for the Google Account possession.
English versions of Android, there is now the possibility to set to block so-called “in-app purchases.” On my English a separate PIN Android 4.0 tablet I could not find this option unfortunately.
I asked Google for clarity, but in the meantime you have already a weapon to avoid.
