How to verify my App Store account?

It won’t let me download any games and keeps saying verification required

The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you don't plan on needing to use it.


If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue", select that and enter valid payment information if required (you may need to enter your Apple ID password first). If there's problems doing this:

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