App Store and Billing Problems

ok so basically i had a credit card linked to my phone to make purchases on an app a few months ago, and a problem has come up recently where when I try to download an app from the App Store, it tells me to sign in to view my billing information. i ignored it at first and just forgot about downloading another app, but it got annoying so i removed/unlinked the card from my phone thinking that would change something. but it still tells me to sign in to view my billing info. i tried deleting all the billing info too but it just brought it back again. what do i do? help :(

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You may need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free

Check which payment method you have on file 

 

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.
