I have mad a purchase about last month on my iPhone. The purchase to this day still says processing. Even though i had already paid for it. I’m not sure why, but it has affected me as in every time I try to update or redownload and app; I get a billing issue. Why could this be? I already paid.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
Pending purchases indicate a purchase that was unable to be charged successfully to your valid payment method on file or Apple Account balance, as such you are responsible for that purchase, and must allow it to successfully complete before anything else can be done.
If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
