The Play Store is home to the largest ecosystem of apps for Android smartphones. It features apps that are free to use, paid apps, and apps that feature in-app purchases.
For those of you who may not know, In-App purchases are microtransactions that you have to make within an app in order to unlock certain features or functionalities. For example, you can buy extra lives in games or unlock all editing features on a photo editor. Now, while some of these In-App purchases look innocently cheap, these small transactions soon cascade into large sums that frankly, are not even entirely justified at times.
The Play Store does not allow you to completely disable In-App purchases as of yet, but, instead, it does allow you to set up an extra level of authentication that prevents you from accidentally committing to a transaction. This feature also prevents kids at home from accidentally triggering a transaction.
