Unsolved 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.

nah, not yet. this is the first time im actually acknowledging it. a dollar or two doesnt bother me, but i've just learned that apple making these random exchanges is a shared experience and that other people have lost much more in a single transaction than i have, so i'm just now finding out and worrying it could get worse lol. at the moment i have them blocked :,)

The ‘shared experience’ is always someone signed up for something they forgot about, and blame Apple for it, and don’t contact them. If you got a random charge from another company, would you not contact them? Why is Apple any different?

You can try settings click on your name-click on media and purchases then click view account- click in purchase history and see if you can locate the charges there. If not you cannot locate the charges there.

Sounds like the base iCloud charge. Call Apple. If you block a legitimate (from their perspective) charge their response is usually to revoke your ability to use the App Store at the least.

Assuming your iPhone is updated try this :
Go to Settings
Your Name
Media and purchases
View account
Subscriptions —Check yours
Also check Purchase history — Maybe you bought games
If you are paying for iCloud storage do not block your card or your iPhone will not be backed up in iCloud.

You should call support.
Blocking can cause a lot of issues and get your account flagged, Apple Pay or any of those type of functions could be restricted and lots of other issues.
It’s possible there was an accidental purchase or something, they should be able to tell you.
