Doesn't look right? Things you could check:
- Check your Apple purchase history — Signing in at reportaproblem.apple.com or visiting Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on an Apple device shows a full list of recent charges and active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Look for a receipt email from Apple — Apple sends an email receipt to the address associated with your Apple ID for every charge, which will itemize exactly what was billed.
- Review active subscriptions — The Subscriptions section in your Apple ID settings lists every recurring plan currently active, along with the next billing date and amount.
- Check for family sharing — If Family Sharing is enabled, a charge on your card may reflect a purchase made by another member of your family group.
APL* charges are billed by Apple for purchases through the App Store, iTunes, Apple subscriptions, or iCloud storage. The name after APL* is the app or service the charge is for. After the APL* prefix the descriptor reads “APPLE.COM/BILL” — that leftover text is the most likely seller.
