You can setup family accounts in iOS and anything your children want to purchase is done via request to the parent account. The parent then has to approve the purchase and the purchase is done using the parent's account details.
- bagels 6y agoI don't understand how people are giving children idevices with credit cards attached to them in the first place. This is madness.
- threatofrain 6y agoBecause of shared iPads without shared accounts.
- mping 6y agoI would never use a real credit card for in app purchases. Call me paranoid, I always use generated cards by my bank service with a fixed amount. It's annoying but I never have surprises.
- treesknees 6y agoIt's not that difficult to understand. Some people really are unaware of the risks of handing their child an iPad to play a Sonic game. They're unaware of features like family accounts or app store controls to prevent payments. An argument to this I keep seeing is "well if the parent doesn't understand it then the kid shouldn't be using it." Heck, if my parents only allowed me to play with things they understood, I'd never be in a software engineering career. Parents should be able to make a mistake with a video game an not have to pay _16 thousand dollars_ to recover from it.
