Can't download Apps. App Store says that I haven’t made a purchase through iTunes

When I try to download an app on the App Store it says that I haven’t made a purchase through iTunes and when I press review and my password it continued to do the same thing

It wants to see you have a credit card or other valid method of payment even if you don't plan on needing to use it. There is no single, clear statement from Apple why this is required and speculation is not allowed on the forum.


If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue" , select that and enter valid payment information if required. If there's problems doing this:

Tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Review Apple ID.
