MenosFios Office. How to avoid accidental purchases on Apple and Google digital stores

1659

Lending your smartphone to the youngest to entertain themselves by playing is sometimes something “risky”. It's impossible to always keep an eye on what the kids are doing and, next thing you know, you have a large bill to pay for purchases made in games or applications.

With the help of FrogTek, Lessfios Office today we are going to show you some measures that you can take to prevent young people from ending up spending money on applications or games without their knowledge and permission.

If you have an iPhone, you can also activate an option to avoid accidental purchases in applications downloaded from the App Store. The option is part of the “Screen Time” feature.
