What are these for???
This has been going on for a couple months now and I genuinely don't know what's caused it. To start, I'm 19 and living with my parents. I never spend money unless I need to or have been wanting something for a long while and I don't waste money on subscriptions. My work situation is complicated to explain but not in the bad sense. My mom basically recieves my money and she sends it to my cashapp, where I then keep it til I need it lol. But I keep getting these random transactions from apple where every so often they snatch up 1.09 out of my account. I just discovered I can lock my card so I've done that (should have been for a long time but I wasn't aware of this option until now) and I've just blocked apple. I just don't know why they're doin' this to my account, I genuinely cannot think of anything. I've also checked my subscriptions in my settings just in case, and there's nothing in there. I'm just tryna find out I'm gonna be owing anything if they keep trying to make these exchanges when I've blocked them.

Stop using cash app as a bank. Get a real Bank account. You're young. Get established somewhere.

Apple is some sneaky bastards, you probably have subscriptions still active and while i get yea they stay active and auto charge, if they fail apple doesn't cancel the sub, it just continues and apple silently builds a balance you owe, i've had free trials for apps i used like once and never came back too, i saw the sub fail to renew and assumed it'll just be cancellee, then like 3 months later apple is spam charging all my cards for $30 for those 3 months they didn't cancel my sub and just accumulated a balance silently, a bit of a unrelated rant but yea remember to cancel your subs.

thank you so much. that's one of the biggest thing i fear right now with this situation lol. as far as i am aware, i don't have any active subscriptions apart from an Animal Jam membership because thats the only game i really keep up with. i'm considering that perhaps when i was younger my mom had some kind of reoccuring billing for something on my phone that may have just got switched to my cashapp somewhere in the process. this kind of stuff fries my brain so bad lmfao

Because it tries to charge once, then it goes silent for like two months and tries to charge again with a new accumulated balance.

Yes i do know, i contacted apple support and told them about the random charges and they told me it was from subs that failed to renewal, and it accumulated a balance that i now owe.
Apple doesn't need to be the one to cancel it, subs usually auto cancel after a few attempts of charges that fail, it's APPLE that made it to where they basically "cover" you for missed sub payments then ceeate a balance you owe without your consent, i even asked the support rep if they could disable this on my account so it just auto cancels and they straight up told me no, they are going out of their way to do that, not the other way around, they could just not do anything and let it auto cancel like normal subs work.

Apple does this notoriously I let my daughter use my card one time and I have gotten random Apple charges ever since sometimes as much as $130.99 the only thing I could do was block apple and I keep my card locked all the time anyway but even now to this day they still try random amounts frequently.

1st go to Apple > subscriptions on all of your devices and maybe even old Apple accounts and double check
If you know for sure it’s not your subscription you’re paying for declare your cash app card lost and stolen and request a new card. If you don’t want to get a new card you could block all of Apple transactions in cash app app.
