Why not?



If you need to change or update your Apple Account payment method

(Also includes Mac, PC)


See this article for information about updating payment methods on various platforms (iPhone, Mac, etc.): If you need to change or update your Apple Account payment method - Apple Support


Here is how you update your payment method on an iPhone or iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap your name.

3. Tap Payment & Shipping (formerly Media & Purchases). You might be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.

4. Tap Add Payment Method, enter the new payment method, then tap Done.

5. Tap Edit.

6. Tap the red delete button next to the old payment method, then tap Delete.


Also note:

1) ”If you change your address, the credit or debit card information that you use with your Apple Account might be automatically updated by your financial institution, and you don't need to take action.”

2) “If there's an issue [such as you having a subscription or being a Family Sharing Organizer], add a new card first, then remove the old card."


If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.

tried all of that. none of it works. I should be able to change my payment info seamlessly like on other apps. Tried logging in to apple account and payment settings there and it does not work. Tried on the phone by clicking my name then payment and shipping. does not work. Tried logging in to the app store to change it there, does not work.
