Why can't I update free apps with unpaid subscriptions from the App Store?

Hello again ~ You can discuss if you would like…no criticism at all. You are responding to a thread posted back in October of last year but feel free to do as you like. I thought to point you in the direction where you would feel most heard but obviously not what you wanted. This is a technical forum not a chat site. Take care and be well.

I also feel like it is that you can’t update apps whenever you are in debt or haven’t paid a subscription. Not being able to download apps a little bit understandable. But taking away updates on the apps you play on is messed up. Then your card gets glitched and I always be putting my correct CVV and it says it’s not saved when I know I pressed save. I like the iPhone just some of the things it does is just whack and doing to much.

Ok but wait so if it was like a free thingy, a free trial and then subscription starts on ____, you don’t technically OWE because you aren’t using the subscription in the meantime you are paying to be able to use it now. Correct? Anyways, how tf do I find Al my subscriptions and remove them? (Please and thank you no frustration is aimed in your specific direction)

They have charged me for so many free trials way before the free trial was even up and fully charged me for the product that I was trying and I’ve gotten to it. I don’t even do the free trials anymore and I’ve called and complained every time.

I’m serious. I’ve never had this problem with Google before Google play. I mean it’s ridiculous that even when you have the app like for instance I have my favorite games too, but let’s take crucial apps like people that work through like Uber Lyft DoorDash things like that they’re running behind a little or nine times out of 10. My problem is I’ve had money in my bank or my Apple Pay and when I do purchase something they say they take it out and later I have Big being charged me because I never took it out. That’s ridiculous. I’ve never had that problem before with Google play they should make it illegal for them to do things like that .

Wait, am I gonna get like blocked or banned for speaking in my mind on how APPLE doesn’t allow a base one there’s a balance a balance that accumulated because they confirmed that they charge your account or there was money and they said they never did so you’re stuck with his bill. I just think if they really care about the customers they should hear our feedback.

I’m not sure if you’re saying that we’re not aware that we have to pay for things we agree to pay but certain things are free and those subscriptions are doing certain dates. They should be some kind of grace. Things happen life shows up someone gets in an accident and, they’ll be a couple of days late or something, but should really come down to basically Shutting our services or limiting or just not updating apps like I don’t know if anybody else has ever had this happen you’re playing a game everything‘s paid you purchase something within the app and I purchase in the dollar charges to your account. The money is there. APPLE confirms that your bank confirms it and later you have an accumulated charge from a few dollars there were supposed to have been taken out to maybe 10 $15 because they didn’t take it out when they said so now you’re stuck with the bigger amount instead of taking it out when it was there available it’s a real mind-boggling situation?

If you want Apple to hear your feedback, this isn't the place to share it. This is a user to user only forum and Apple doesn't read here for user feedback.

Use this link if you want to share your feedback with Apple --> Product Feedback - Apple

Apple doesn't hear your feedback here. You seem to have gone to the wrong place. This might be what your are looking for:

Product Feedback - Apple

The purpose is for users to provide technical questions and others attempt to answer, usually with documentation provided by Apple. You will find that not all questions will have an answer that can be provided and in that case you will be instructed to use the provided Feedback link.

See the thing apple does is they wait for a while after I make a purchase on a specific app and THEN charge me but usually by that time I'd have spent enough money on the cashapp car I often use on my phone since I don't trust it with my others

I thought this was a discussion, I did not know that I cannot respond and share my own frustration, even if that is valuable to me

I’m getting annoyed to the point were I want to switch to android because I paid all of them off yet they still won’t go away apple what do y’all have to say about this!
