Why am I being charged $8.99 when I try to download a free app

It hasn't always been doing this but within the last two or three months I've been trying to download free apps from the app store and having to verify myself with a credit card. So I put my info in and it tries to charge me $8.99. It's been successful on two or three occasions, in which I didn't receive the app or any service for that matter. I was just charged. Can someone tell me whats going on with this


iPhone 11, iOS 17

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 don't recognize a charge - Apple Support

or go to Subscriptions and Billing - Official Apple Support


Also note that there is an Apple article that explains how to cancel recurring charges from subscriptions. Click on the following link: If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support
