How To Fix
“Verification Required” Issue On iPhone And iPad?
Did you ever get a “Verification Required” error message when
trying to install or update free apps from the iOS App Store on your iPhone or
iPad? If yes, then this article will help you troubleshoot this issue. If you
want to get rid of this problem, you need to change the payment method you use.
You can choose to go for a valid payment method, or you can select the “none”
option to not link any payment details with an Apple ID and App Store. This
article is going to show you how you can stop the “Verification Required”
message on your iOS device, either when trying to download the free apps from
your App Store or when updating on your iPhone or iPad.
If you are not looking forward to adding or verifying a
credit card with your Apple ID, or if your payment method expired, or if you
firmly don’t believe in using one at all, then you should definitely change a
setting on the Apple ID in order to stop the “Verification Required” message.
Here’s how you can do that:
1. First of
all, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Then tap on
the iTunes & App Store option.
3. Here you
will see the Apple ID option, tap on it. You will find this button at the top
of the settings.
4. Now you
need to tap on View Apple ID and then sign into the Apple ID as you usually do.
5. Tap on the
Payment Information option. Do it in the Account Settings section.
6. Here you
will get to see the “None” option under “Payment Method” – or you may have
“Update the Payment Method.”
7. When you
are done adjusting your settings, tap on Done button at the upper right corner
of the screen.
8. Now you can
exit the Settings, and go back to your iOS App Store.
9. In App
Store, you are now able to download, install, and update apps for free without
having to face any “Verification Required” message.
This should entirely resolve the “Verification Required”
message when trying to perform App Store actions in your iOS device. Thus, you
are free to download, update, and install any apps onto your iPhone or iPad.
Thank you for reading. We hope this article will help you be
aware of “Verification Required” message, and how you can fix it.
