  2. Choose “View Apple ID” to access the Account Settings page
  3. In the Account Settings section, go to “Purchase History” and scroll through the list to find any item with an outstanding balance – this is what must be paid before you can change your payment information
  4. Once the balance payable is zero. Give it 2-3 working days.


Update your payment information as detailed below to stop the “Verification Required” error message on the iPhone or iPad

  1. In the Account Settings section, tap on “Payment Information”
  2. Under ‘Payment Method’, choose “None”

      1. App store for the first time
      2. Active Subscription renews automatically
