Ever accidentally bought an app via Google's one-tap buy button? Purchases now require a more deliberate lateral swipe.
- Google is pushing out a new swipe gesture feature for purchases made via Play Store billing.
- This forces you to swipe to confirm a purchase instead of using the one-tap buy button.
- The company previously said this feature is meant to prevent accidental purchases.
Google allows you to authenticate your Play Store purchases with biometrics or a password. You can also set the frequency of purchase verification for maximum convenience. Now, it looks like the company just released a new measure to prevent accidental app purchases.
Google previously confirmed as part of a Play Services update last month that it’ll offer a swipe gesture for making purchases in lieu of a buy button. Now, Telegram user @Adamzampahere reports that this feature is rolling out. Check out the screenshots below.
