Why apple charging me 20 for verification of my debit card

i download apps that are free or I cancel my subscription before getting charged but i don’t understand why apple is charging me $20 just so i can download Snapchat when that’s clearly a free app

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

There is no fee for verification. One possibility is that there is another charge on your account for something. This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you. We don't have access to information about charges to your account. Apple has a support article about charges — see each of the steps in the following instructions. They include information on contacting Apple Support if the other steps don't help. See: If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support

Its not charging you for Snapchat.


That charge is likely a pending charge you had on your account that must be completed, but is for something else entirely, not related to Snapchat.


If you had a pending charge, you must allow it to complete before you can actually download anything even free apps.
