Can't update apps

I have been facing many issues with this phone ever since I’ve got it. Lately they have been just piling up more and more. For example this one, I can’t update my apps, or download free ones. After I put in my password, I’m just being forced to add new payment methods while I already have one. You trying to charge me for a free app?!

Apple doesn't charge you for nothing.

If the system requires for a payment method, it means that you are trying to download a free app with in-app purchases. Apps like that require a valid payment method. Or you have a pending bill.

You might also wanna check your subscriptions.
