You can prevent accidental purchases that some apps and games offer as you use them on your Fire tablet. In-app purchasing options typically offer some additional functionality for the app or game you are using. For example, a game might offer you the opportunity to purchase in-game currency or new game levels, or it might prompt you to purchase subscriptions.
