Google Purchase Requests feature available on Android devices: What it is? All you need to know

Google Purchase Requests feature: The US-bases tech giant Google has added the new 'Purchase Requests' feature that will provide family managers the option to approve or deny children's purchases. Google is adding a new easier way for families to safely purchase both paid apps and in-app purchases.

Google Purchase Requests feature: Explained

On Google Play, if users do not have a family payment method set up, children under 13 will be able to send a purchase request directly to the family manager. Users can then evaluate the request and important information about the application or in-app purchase on their own device, and decide if the purchase should be completed or not.

If they decide to complete the purchase, they can use their own stored payment methods including Google Play gift cards. Family managers will receive notifications for these purchase requests real-time, but they can also view it in an approval request queue to decide later. And just like with the family payment method, transactions completed through Purchase Requests will all be available in the Order History.

In related news, Google's upcoming 'Pixel Tablet' and its charging speaker dock have been leaked on Facebook Marketplace, a destination on Facebook where people can buy and sell items. The unreleased Pixel Tablet has a similar screen setup as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro's Feathers collection, reports Gizmochina.

The leak of the Google Pixel Tablet showed what it looked like its default application setup. It showed the tablet-optimised Pixel Launcher home screen with the search bar present above default applications.

The applications include Gmail, YouTube, Chrome and Photos, and the last two slots were suggestions. The 256GB variant was shown on the Facebook Marketplace with an estimated battery life of about 16 hours at 70 per cent. The leak also revealed the rear view of the Pixel Tablet and showed "USB-C and speaker grills at the connection to the charging speaker dock," the report said.
