What do you do if you need an Apple ID to use an iPhone but don’t have a credit card? While in the past it was quite easy to create an Apple ID without a payment method, recently Apple does not allow users to create an Apple ID without adding credit card information. This is definitely a problem for teenagers who don’t have their own cards. It’s also a problem if you want to install iOS apps that are not available in your country. As you can imagine, there is a way to create Apple IDs without any payment method.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look Here are the steps to create an Apple ID without a credit card:
note: I tried this method on an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPhone 6 running the latest version of iOS 10, so it should work for you too.
one. App Store on your iOS device and make sure sign out of any Apple account you may be using.
2. Now, search for any free app To upload. I’m uploading the official Reddit app here. Tap on “Receive” To try and install the application. Now a prompt should come up asking you to sign in. “Create New Apple ID”.
3. Now select your country and proceed to the next step where you will be asked to fill in all the details for your new Apple ID including security questions. When done, tap on “Next”.
4. When you move to the next page, you will notice that you can choose. “None” As your Payment Method. Tap that and enter your name, billing address, zip code and phone number. When you’re done, press “Next” To verify your new Apple account
5. Sign in to the email you used for the Apple account and you will notice that you have received a verification mail from Apple. click “Verify now” To complete the whole procedure by signing into the Apple ID website.
Well, that was easy, wasn’t it? You can now use this Apple ID to install apps from the App Store, use iCloud, and much more on your iPhone or iPad.
Note: This method only works when trying to install a free app without any Apple ID signed in. If you try to create an Apple ID without installing an app, you won’t see the “None” option on the payment method page.
