You can require a password for purchases made on the App Store and other Apple media services through your device's settings. Here's how:
-
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
-
Tap on your name at the top of the Settings menu. This will open your Apple ID settings.
-
Tap Media & Purchases.
-
Tap Password Settings. Here, you'll find options to manage your password preferences for purchases.
- Require Password: If this is enabled, you'll be prompted to enter your Apple ID password for every purchase.
- Free Downloads: You can choose whether or not a password is required for free downloads.
- Require Password After: This setting allows you to set a time interval (e.g., 15 minutes) after which a password will be required, even if you've recently made a purchase. This can be useful if you frequently make purchases. If set to "Immediately", you'll be prompted for a password with each purchase.
By adjusting these settings, you can customize the level of security and convenience that suits your needs when using the App Store.
