Verification required when attempting to purchase free app When I'm trying to install a free app on my iPod, it'll say:

Verification Required
Before you can make purchases, you must tap continue to verify your payment info.

Why do I see this when it's free?
The &quot;None&quot; option is not available.
You need to select that you don't want a payment option on your account.


Open the Settings app → scroll down to and tap on iTunes &amp; App Stores.
Tap View Apple ID → Payment Information.
Select None as the payment type.
