My problem is that I can’t update any app on my phone because when I try it says “Your account has been disabled in the AppStore and iTunes”. I have watched YouTube videos and nothing seemed to work what big issue is causing this that I’m not seeing?

Can’t update any of my apps on AppStore due to disabled account.

If you see a message that says "Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes," there might be a problem with the payment method that you have on file.


When you see the message, don't try to edit any of your account information. Instead, contact Apple Support for help.
