Can’t download Apps from App Store after an update? Nothing to worry about since this is a common problem faced by many. Luckily for you, we have a list of a few solutions you could try.

Problems

1.       After updating to the latest iOS, it remains stuck on "loading". The internet connection is stable and other devices are downloading just fine. IPhone can’t download apps even after repeated attempts to delete and restart the download. Now, keep in mind that this is a common problem and can be fixed easily at home. We have put together a few of the most frequently used tips and tricks to tackle the problem. These should get started on downloading all the apps you want in no time.

2.       You recently turned on automatic downloads for app updates and since then, downloads get stuck on loading.

Solutions

1.  Try following these steps:

•  Tap Settings.

•  Tap iTunes & App Store.

•  Tap Apple ID > Sign Out.

•  Tap Apple ID and enter your Apple ID (typically your iCloud.com email address).

•  Tap Password and enter the password for your Apple ID.

•  Tap Sign In.

2.  Restart your phone and download a free app.

3.  Switch your phone's language to Spanish and then switch it back to English. This fix works for most users.

4.  Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are exact and according to your region. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.

5.  Reset your iPhone or iPad. This means resetting all your settings. This will delete all your previous settings but keep your data safe.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

6.  Kill the App Store. Do this by double tapping the Home button, then swipe up on the App Store app and prevent it from running in the background.

7.  Instead of your apple password, try using your Touch ID when you start the download. Settings>Touch ID & Passcode then turn on the iTunes & App Store option.

8.  As a general rule, look for what has recently changed in your iPhone and iPad. Some users install a plugin which causes the issue. After removing anything that was added after the last time it worked fine, everything will go back to normal and work as usual.

9.  Turn off automatic downloads.

If for some reason, you still can’t download apps, then visiting your nearest Apple store is your best option.
