Shop & Purchases ​

  • Restore purchases
  • Codes: redeem a Tide Keep promo code or an App Store code.

See Shop & Purchases.

Parents ​

Set a parent PIN to choose a four-digit PIN. Kids play freely, but these need the PIN:

  • Every real-money purchase
  • Redeeming an App Store code
  • Emails from Help Us Improve
  • Web pages, such as the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
  • Turning on online play
  • Showing or hiding the shop

After three wrong tries, the keypad locks for five minutes. Use Change parent PIN or Turn off parent PIN to manage it; both ask for the current PIN.

Forgot the PIN ​

Deleting and reinstalling the game doesn't remove the PIN. To reset it:

  1. On the PIN keypad, tap Forgot PIN?.
  2. Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode.
  3. Tap Choose a New PIN and enter a new one twice, or tap Turn off parent PIN.

Only someone who can unlock the device can do this. If the PIN was asked for a purchase or a link, a reset doesn't approve it: try again with the new PIN. A device with no passcode can't reset the PIN; set a passcode in the iOS Settings app first.
