To use your Apple ID balance for in-app purchases, first ensure your balance covers the purchase amount. Then, when making a purchase, your Apple ID balance is automatically used unless you've selected another payment method. If needed, change your payment method directly in the purchase process: on iOS, go to Settings > Your Name > Payment & Shipping. For in-app purchases, there might not be an explicit option to select your Apple ID balance; it uses this balance by default if available. If you encounter issues, ensure your device's software is up to date and try again.
