• If you see the iCloud icon instead of a price, you've already purchased the app
and you can download it again for free.
• If you see Open instead of a price, the app is already installed. Select Open to
launch the app.
While an app is downloading or updating, its icon appears on the Home screen
with a progress indicator.
Review Family Sharing purchases. If you set up Family Sharing, the family
organizer can review purchases made by other family members under the age of
18. For example, if Ask to Buy is set for younger family members (configured in
iTunes on a Mac or iOS device), then when those members try to make a
purchase, a message is sent to the family organizer asking for approval. For more
about setting up Family Sharing, see Family Sharing .
Note: Age restrictions for Ask to Buy vary by area.
Restrict in-app purchases. Many apps provide extra content or enhancements
for a fee. To limit purchases that can be made within an app, in Settings
M, go to
General > Restrictions (make sure Restrictions is turned on) and turn off In-App
Purchases. For more about Restrictions, see Restrict access to content .
Turn off automatic updates. By default, apps are automatically updated when
new versions are released. To turn off this feature, in Settings
M, go to Apps >
Automatically Update Apps.
If Automatically Update Apps is turned off, you can select any app in the App Store
to check if an update is available and manually update there.
Turn on automatic app installation. If you download an app on an iPhone or iPad
that also has an Apple TV version (known as a universal purchase app), the app
can be automatically added to the Home screen of any Apple TV signed in to the
same iTunes accoL1nt. To turn on this featL1re, in Settings
R, go to Apps >
Automatically Install Apps.
