This wikiHow teaches you how to make your iPhone require a password for every App Store, iTunes, or iBooks purchase (the default setting) instead of allowing multiple password-free transactions within a certain time frame.
Steps
-
1Open your iPhone’s Settings. It’s an app with a gray cog on one of your home screens. It might be in a folder called “Utilities.”
-
2Scroll down and tap iTunes and App Store. It’s in the fourth section.Advertisement
-
3Tap Password Settings.[1]
- If you don’t see it, tap Back, select General, then tap Restrictions. You’ll find Password Settings under “Allowed Content.”
-
4Select Always Require. The App Store, iTunes, and iBooks will now all require that you type your Apple ID password each time you make a purchase.
- To require passwords for free downloads (in addition to purchases), slide the “Require Password” switch under “Free Downloads” to the On position.
