Cannot add payment method. Button is dimmed and un-click-able

I cannot click the button that says add a payment method. It won’t let me. No option is given. Already confirmed other through family but I don’t want to use their payment method. I don’t want to spend their money.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Check these possibilities:

● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple Account is grayed out in Settings - Apple Support


Tap your Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.


● If a payment method entry is greyed out and you are a Family Sharing member, you cannot add your own payment method unless you are the Organizer or you turn off Purchase Sharing. See How to share apps and purchases with your family - Apple Support
