How can i update apps without pay mony

Use of the App Store is subject to the Terms of Use no matter if you are downloading free apps or updating apps. If you owe money from a previous purchase, then you will need to pay that before you are allowed to continue and use the App Store for any reason.

Review the information here:

• If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
• If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support

One way to check for a Pending Charge that is preventing use of the App Store is to follow the steps here under See your purchase history on your device. You may need to adjust the filters for viewing the transactions as the example screenshot there shows Last 90 Days and Paid transactions. You are looking for a transaction in Red or showing as Pending, and that would be the one that has not yet been paid.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

The ability to complete an app purchase on the App Store requires a functioning payment method.

A payment method is often required to verify your identity, prevent fraud and ensure a streamlined process if you decide to make in-app purchases or purchase paid apps later.

It also helps companies manage age restrictions and regional content availability.

Check your payment method in Settings ➢ [your name] ➢ Payment & Shipping, ensure it’s valid and update if needed. Also, sign out and back into your Apple Account, then try again.

If it still fails, contact Apple Support directly.

Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

You will not be charged merely for downloading a "free" app, or for updating an app that you've already purchased or installed.

Apple may require you to have a valid payment method on file – and to have paid off anything that you already owe them – but the download itself will not incur extra charges.

However, many "free" apps are not really free. They are like coin-operated vending machines or arcade games – with functionality locked away behind "in-app purchases" that cost real money. If you make an in-app purchase, you will be charged real money. Likewise, apps that offer "free trials" often have those set up so the "free trial" automatically renews as a paid subscription for which you will be charged real money.

Hello~ Try adding a functional and region appropriate valid payment method.
