That’s all the information I have, I’m using an iPhone and it’s about every app on my phone 31 I believe and that would cause me to have to get rid of my iPhone and choose a different step to take

Sorry, but if you are being prompted to add a payment method, there is no “workaround” to avoid doing so.
See your options detailed in these articles:
Payment methods that you can use with your Apple Account - Apple Support
If you need to change or update your Apple Account payment method - Apple Support
Hello~ You can let Apple know your thoughts by clicking on below…
Remember…we are your fellow forum members and are not privy to Apple’s decision making processes. We all must abide by those decisions just as you do. I must respectfully say that throwing your iPhone in the lake and going offline will not change anything at all. Take care.

Why is it impossible to update all my FREE apps unless I add a payment method? What’s app telegram next door etc. all need updating and all say it’s free so myself i feel like I’m being forced to add a payment method!🤬! I paid over a thousand dollars for my iPhone and soon it will be worthless to me because every time I try to update my apps that in Bold letters say it’s free but when I try to update my app it says I must tap continue and then my password for apple and then it says I must add payment method which means I have to give my card and all it’s information which means I have no option but to add information I don’t want to give because I’m not buying ANYTHING!!!!! It’s FREE! That’s not right! I might as well just throw my phone in the lake and go offline!
