If you've ever wanted to use your PayPal account to purchase new apps, music, movies, or TV or books on your iOS devices, that time has finally come.
Last week, at long last, Apple added PayPal as a new payment method in the App Store, Apple Music iTunes, iBooks, and iCloud.
Here's how to set it up.
How you will activate PayPal as a payment method will differ depending on which app you use, and which version of iOS your devices are running.
If your iPhone or iPad is still on iOS 10, open the app store and scroll to the bottom of the featured tab Tap Apple I D and select view Apple I D.
Use touch I D Or your Apple I D password, then tap payment information and select Paypal.
Tap sign into Paypal and log in using your Paypal email and password.
Select the way to pay and then tap continue.
Finally, tap agree and continue to finish the setup.
If you've updated your iOS devices to the iOS 11 public beta, the location of this payment method will have moved.
Open the app store, tap on the user profile picture in the upper right corner, and then tap Tap on your Apple ID username, select payment information, then tap PayPal and follow the same instructions as before to complete the setup.
