Apple apps

Hello everytime I try to download a free app or update it. It's asking to verify my payment and it's always trying to charge me $131. How do I stop that??

You need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.


To verify your payment information:

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.

https://appleid.apple.com                                                     

On the Sidebar click Payment methods -> then tap Payments Methods and tap Manage payment method.


If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple ID balance as payment method, see -> Add money to your Apple ID balance

Add money to your Apple ID balance – Apple Support (UK)


If you want to make purchases or update / download apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one

  • If you want to change your card, add first the new card, then remove the old one.
  • or if you use your Apple ID balance, set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.
