Are you repeatedly getting a popup saying, “Verification Required – Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to verify your payment info” or “Verification Required. Tap Continue and sign in to view billing information” on iPhone or iPad. Having myself encountered the pop-up a few times, I can say that it can easily freak you out and take you on top of the angst. Before you begin, first understand why this error occurred.
Cant Download Apps Iphone 6 The reason why we choose to use iPhone is because there are a lot of interesting and useful apps we can download from the App store. But lately we learned from Apple discussion communities that some users reported an issue that they can no longer download or update apps after installing the latest iOS 12/11.4/11.3/11.
- Just got my new iPhone 6 and I can't seem to download anything from the app store. I'll press the icon to download, it will change to the circle image for a second, then it just stops. Is this an ios 8 issue/ iphone 6 problem? Is the app store down? Anybody else experiencing the same issue?
- Find the 'Settings' app on your iPhone. Then go to the 'iTunes & App Store' and tap on Apple ID. A pop-up will appear and you need to tap on 'Sign Out'. Then you have to tap on that Apple ID again to 'Sign In'.
Why Does App Store Say “Verification Required” on the iPhone?
You see “Verification Required” popup because of an error with the payment method currently connected with your Apple ID. You get this message when a payment method has failed, or if the particular device has never purchased a paid app, or downloaded a free app, or if there is a pending unpaid balance on the account.
As you can see, the leading cause for the “Verification Required” message on your iPhone or iPad is a faulty credit card. So, if you just update the details, switch to a valid payment card, or remove the current card and select ‘None’ as the payment method, things will work out. If not, follow along with this easy guide.
How to Fix “Verification Required” Message on iPhone or iPad
To get rid of the issue, you have to change the Apple ID payment method. You can go for a valid payment method or do not associate any payment details with your Apple ID and App Store. We are going with the latter.
Step #1. Launch Settings and tap on your name card at the top.
Step #2. Tap iTunes & App Store → Tap on Apple ID: yourId@youremail.com → View Apple ID.
Step #3. Tap Manage Payments.
Note: Here, you will see the payment method you have added. Now, if there are issues with this added payment method like the wrong name, or security code, or lapsed expiry date or billing address, tap on it, and on the next screen update the details. If not, see step #4 and remove this payment method.
Step #4. Tap Edit from top right → Tap on red minus icon → Tap on Remove → Tap on Remove from Popup.
Now you have no payment method added to your Apple ID. This obviously means you can not purchase apps or subscriptions anymore. But this will remove the annoying ‘Verification Required’ pop-up.
If you wish to buy apps or subscriptions, you may correctly add a payment method to your Apple ID. You may also add funds to your Apple ID and purchase iCloud Storage, apps from the App Store, and more.
Not Able to Remove Current Payment Method? Here is Why
You may not be able to remove your current payment method if there is a payment due or Family Sharing Option is enabled for your services. There are several other reasons why you might not be able to remove the current payment method when editing your Apple ID payment information. To know more, head over to this post.
