Fix “In-app purchases are generally not allowed” message on iPhone

If you try to place an order within an app and your iPhone displays a student message “In-app purchases are not normally allowed”, it is more than likely that in-app purchases are restricted on your system.

In-app purchases are not allowed on iPhone

Although the in-app purchasing feature on the iPhone makes it easy to make purchases on your iPhone or iPad, it also increases the chance that someone with access to your iPhone will make unwanted purchases.

That's why Apple allows iPhone customers to disable in-app purchases, to prevent your children from being tempted to make unwanted purchases on your iPhone.

Since your iPhone tries to prevent in-app purchases, you may have unintentionally disabled “in-app purchases” on your system.
