Downloading things from the App Store

I am trying to download a game from the App Store but it shows up with a billing information when it’s never done that. To check to see if it was only that game I uninstalled a game I already had and I tried to install that but the billing information showed up. I’m just trying to figure out why it’s doing that?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

If you want to make purchases or update / download apps, including free apps, you need to have a payment method on file.

If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple ID balance as payment method, see -> Add money to your Apple ID balance
