Can't download Apps without updating billing info

Having to have a payment method to update apps already purchased is bs and apple should quit that Because a payment method should only be needed under different circumstances. I am seriously thinking of getting rid of all my apple products over this stupid procedure.

Hi

It may be possible to select None as your payment method. If you are not able to choose None (even for downloading free apps and updating existing ones), then the following support article explains why that is the case:

Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

Follow the instructions here as appropriate, including checking that your address details fully match those on file with your card issuer / bank:

• Change or remove your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support
• Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
• Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

If your payment method is a bank card, you may also wish to check with your bank, in case it has declined Apple's payment authorisation requests.

If you still need help, contact iTunes Support:

Contact - Official Apple Support

Either try a different card. Or see if you can remove the card : Change or remove your Apple ID payment information in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

I enter in the info and it says the payment method is declined

I can’t update my app

Hi,

I had this same issue, I lost my debit card so I added Paypal, for whatever reason the app store/iTunes does not work with Paypal. I removed that as a payment and added a new credit card. It worked immediately.

I would suggest removing your old card, adding it again or adding a new one if possible. Might work. Good luck!

Having to have a payment method to update apps

You don't have to, and never have (unless you are a Family Share organiser, who will have to have a payment method on their account).

But if you currently have payment details on an account they have to be valid details and accepted by iTunes, irrespective of what you are trying to download - if that is your situation, and if you don't want to correct/update your details, try just logging into the account (not when trying to download something) and see if you can remove the card.

Update your billing info, credit card, expiring date, name & address.

Until the payment info is correct and accepted, you will not be able to update or download.

It’s wanna let me update my apps it’s asking for a billing

What happens when you enter them ?
