DOWLOADING/UPDATING MY APPS WITHOUT PAYMENT METHOD INTERFERENCE.

How do I update and download my apps without the payment method interfering? I had no problem downloading and updating my apps without it. Now it’s asking me to put my Apple ID password every time I’d like to download a free app/update my apps.

If you can't choose None as a payment method then the Billing information is needed . The "None" option will not appear...


  1. If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
  2. If you have a subscription that automatically renews
  3. If you're using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
  4. If you are not in the country or region you’re creating an Apple ID for
  5. If you changed your country or region
  6. If you're a part of Family Sharing
