Glitch: Apps won’t download or update
Quite a few people have been having trouble getting apps to update properly. They seem to hang indefinitely. Some people have also had trouble getting new apps to download at all.
Potential fixes
Why Can T I Download Any Apps On My Iphone 6
- The first thing to try is to double tap the Home button and swipe up on any problem app that’s listed to close it. Now restart your device by holding down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo.
- Try going to Settings > iTunes & App Store and turn Updates under Automatic Downloads Try updating manually, or restart your device and turn the automatic updates on again.
- You could also go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and see if that helps, you will have to re-enter passwords.
- If that doesn’t work then try deleting any problem app from your device. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap your Apple ID then Sign Out. No hold down Home and Sleep/Wake to restart. Fire up the App Store, log in, and download the apps from scratch.
- It could be that a specific app or game is causing the issue. Some people reported success after deleting the WSJ app. You could try removing apps one by one until you find the culprit or do a factory reset and selectively reinstall.
