Hi there, Dennis!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That is a great question you have about downloading apps without a credit card attached to your Apple ID. Check out this article with steps to follow to Change or remove your Apple ID payment information . This article has the steps you can follow on your iPhone to be able to take care of this:

Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you want to change your payment information and you're using iOS 10.3 or later:

  1. Tap Settings > [your name] > Payment & Shipping. You might need to enter your Apple ID password.
  2. Select your current payment method. If you're using Family Sharing, only your family organizer can update the payment information.
  3. Enter your new payment information.
    User uploaded file
  4. Tap Save.

If you want to remove your payment information, or if you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier:

  1. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store.
  2. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. You might need to sign in.
  3. Tap Payment Information.
  4. Change or remove your information. To remove your payment method, select None. Get help if you don't see None or can't select it.
  5. Tap Done.

If you change your payment method to a credit card, the iTunes Store places a temporary authorization hold on your credit card to verify your updated account information.


Take care!
