You must enter a password to make an in-app purchase. You can set your preferences so that a password is required for every in-app purchase or every 15 minutes. Setting your preferences to require a password every 15 minutes lets you make additional in-app purchases for 15 minutes without re-entering your password.

To change how often we prompt you for your password in tvOS, open Settings, select Users and Accounts, and choose your account to change password settings for additional purchases.

Auto-renewing subscriptions and non-consumable purchases may be accessed on other Apple devices you own or control. However, consumable purchases may not be able to be transferred to other devices. For example, if you download a game on one device and pay a one-time fee to buy more levels, then download the game on another one of your devices, you can access the additional levels there too. You may need to restore your purchase on the second device to get the levels.

Some apps offer subscription-based access to their content. Unlike single-item purchases, auto-renewing subscriptions will automatically renew until you choose to end them. If you wish to cancel your subscriptions, you can easily change renewal settings from your device.

On Apple TV, you can only manage subscriptions for tvOS apps that are installed on your Apple TV. Open Settings from the Home Screen, select Accounts, and under Subscriptions choose Manage Subscriptions. Choose the subscription that you want to manage, then select Cancel Subscription. If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already cancelled and won’t renew.

When you purchase an auto-renewing subscription from a third-party developer, we create a randomly generated Subscriber ID that is unique to you and that developer. Developers use this Subscriber ID, as well as sales information, to understand their product’s performance. If you cancel all of your subscriptions with a particular developer and don’t resubscribe within 180 days, your Subscriber ID will be reset.

On Apple TV, just open Settings, tap General, then tap Restrictions to manage purchase settings, including the option to turn off the ability to make in-app purchases.
