Apps won’t update.

For some reason my iPhone apps won’t update.

Things I’ve tried.

Turning wifi off/on

Restarting iPhone

Logging out/in applid


There’s currently 36 apps that require updating so I don’t wanna have to uninstall and reinstall each one.

Is there a solution?

iPhone 8

What happens if you try to delete one of the apps and reinstall it from the app store? Instead, you could also try to download a new app and see if it will download. Try to find something that is free but you haven't purchased yet, or even an app you previously had but have since deleted.

So, I tried both of your suggestions and they both work as they should. But I can’t update apps that are already installed and, like I said, I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t require me to uninstall all the apps and then reinstall them or have to uninstall and reinstall an app every time it requires an update


Update: Never mind. Apparently installing a new app fixed the problem. Thanks mvan231.
