# Turn Off In-App Purchasing on Kindle Fire

Prevent accidental purchases of in-app items by turning off In-App Purchasing. Help for Kindle Fire (2nd Generation), Kindle Fire HD 7" (2nd Generation), and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" (2nd Generation).

When you enable in-app purchasing, you are able to purchase items (such as in-game currency or premium unlocks) within a free or paid app. These items can be used to unlock additional functionality, such as new levels in a game, and more. If you don't want in-app items to be purchased while using an app, you can disable the option on your Kindle Fire.

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to show Quick Settings, and then tap More.
2. Tap Applications, and then tap Apps.
3. Tap In-App Purchasing and uncheck the box next to In-App Purchasing.
