Q: App store purchases

hello everyone.

I would like to ask you about purchases on the app store. Can I downloaf free apps or even update the already existing ones without a prepaid card?

Thank you

Hey there Maria_PT,

It sounds like you are wondering if you need a payment method to update your purchased apps. In general no. You can remove your payment information from your account and still be able to update them:

Change or remove your Apple ID payment information in the iTunes Store

If you are unable to remove your payment info then this article might shed some light as to why.

Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

Keep in mind that you may want to double check to see if you have any subscriptions with an app or on your account:

Manage your auto-renewing subscriptions

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
