Being apple user i really feel that you should bring call recording feature. Reason majority of population using android have this features and u can’t avoid it. Leave the decision on individual to record or not too. it’s a must feature.

Pls do something about the Apple Music bug or glitch
I can’t play songs offline when download and sometimes takes about 10 to 15 seconds to work

Hey, I have an Indian debit card which doesn’t support international payments as it requires additional information such as OTPs from my financial institution and hence when I try adding my card, it throws me an error. I have been trying to subscribe to Apple Music.

Hi, I use an Apple Account to purchase in app purchases. Recently it has been saying that “Your purchase could not be completed” what’s causing this? I’ve tried multiple methods of fixing it such as screen time, signing out and in to my Apple ID and resetting my phone but it doesn’t seem to be the problem

I have this issue where it keeps telling me "verification required" when I wish to spend money yet everything is okay. I have $40 of iTunes sitting there doing nothing unable to spend it. Is there anyway I can fix this? My card isn’t even red. I’ve signed out and signed back in to everything I could in efforts to fix it but nothing worked.

I’ve been having problems redownloading an apps again because if I do that it asks me about a payment method and I do not have any payment method. I also cannot purchase any items for games because it says how I was unable to complete purchase even though I have $25 from an Apple gift card

[orinavane]

It keeps saying there is a billing problem with a previous purchase, i think its cause i have a pending purchase. Can i pay for the pending purchase with a apple gift card for the app store?
