Can’t download apps. “Review” button keeps popping up.

This Apple ID has not yet been used in the App Store

I’m using an iPhone 11 (15.6.1) and got mostly everything set up, the problem is that every time I try to download an app it pops up with "This Apple ID has not yet been used in the App Store" then it has a button and it says "Review" when I click it, it requires me to enter my password and then after I enter it, it keeps repeating the "Review" and I'm unable to download apps what do I do?


This question has been asked several times by others, but there’s no consistent answer. I’ve seen something about reviewing TOS or adding a credit card at Settings->media & purchases but I see no such route, and I don’t have a credit card.

The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you plan on using account balance to pay for a purchase.


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:

On a mobile device tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Manage Payments > Add Payment Method.

If you continue to have problems contact Official Apple Support - Select your region from the list and then your country from the pop-up window. If you do not see your country, see if there is an "other" listing for that region.
