In-App Purchases Not Allowed pops up when not attempting to purchase anything

I have an iPhone 14 Pro running IOS 17.2.1.

I have In-App purchases disabled on my phone (since I explicitly enable it when I want to purchase something, then disable it again.... trying to avoid accidental purchases!).

When using my phone I periodically get the pop-up message "In-App purchases not allowed".... but I could be on the iPhone home screen (not in an app) and definitely not attempting to purchase anything on any apps. I have no idea which app is attempting to trigger a purchase. Is there any way I can see which app I have installed that is triggering this?

I'm not keen on re-enabling In-App purchases now, as I don't want an app to trigger an in-app purchases.... but it is getting a little annoying having these pop-ups appearing for no obvious reason.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

I am having the exact same problem like you. I am trying to allow in-apps purchase and ask for password when it trigger. I hope it will show me which apps is triggering the in-apps purchase.

I will update again does it works or not.

hi @megahappy, it has been 2 weeks after I set the setting in screen time as my previous post. There is no more prompt out occosionally since I changed the setting. I think it is IOS bug causing that. I think we have no choice but to set the in-apps purchase to ALLOW and then remember to set the required password to be "always required".

You may have disallowed it in the Screen Time Restrictions. Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory

I know it's not allowed.... but I'm not trying to buy anything.

How can I tell which app is triggering this? I'm on the home screen (not active in an app), and it still pops up occasionally.
