Unable to make in-app purchases after recent iPad update

I have an issue with the two games I play namely that since the latest update, my in app purchases don’t work. I click to purchase and it just hangs there, nothing happens at all. I’ve gone through my settings to make sure in app purchases are allowed, restarted my device etc, nothing has worked. Does anyone know what else I can do please? Thanks

Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:


  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases - set to Allow
