So I just switched from Android to iPhone I need to download appsbut having problem downloading apPs. ITunes??

So I switched from android to an iPhone. I have an Apple ID already set up. However I went to go download my first app which was Facebook, because I really need it, LOL. And it’s giving me some kind of message that I have not used iTunes or I need to set up iTunes? Can someone help me?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
