Most people redeem Apple gift cards by clicking the "Redeem" button in the Apple Store app and then entering the redemption code.
This step-by-step process is very slow, and if your internet speed is not fast, it can take a long time just for the redemption interface to appear.
In fact, you can try using a redemption link to redeem your code.
Here's how: Open the following link in a browser or chat app window to quickly complete the redemption.
https://apps.apple.com/redeem?code=X9TF29G52G5D7WPJ&ref=EMO
We need to modify this link. The code X9TF29G52G5D7WPJ is the gift card redemption code you purchased. You need to change it to your own redemption code.
Then, open this link in a browser or chat app interface, and it will automatically redirect you to the Apple Store to redeem the code, without needing to click through many cumbersome buttons.
