No, you 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

I’ve been using without payment without before


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

If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one


I don’t understand why.

If you go to a shop in real life you need to pay too if you buy stuff.
