Why am I being charged to download apps?

Every dating site app I try to download will try to charge even though the app is free

I don’t understand why either! At first I thought I just needed to enter a payment method like another user said but then I was charged $6.51. I checked everywhere for what exactly this $6.51 is for. It’s not for storage because I buy storage every month for .99$. I have no pending charges for anything anywhere and no subscriptions so I’m wondering where this money I’m being charged is for. It’s also not on my purchases so that’s suspicious.

My sister has this issue as well and if she continually tries to redownload an app they keep trying to charge her so now hers is like $30 to download or redownload an app that doesn’t even cost money. Idk what Apple is trying to do but I’m disputing charges!
