App Store won’t let me download apps

When I go to download a free app on the App Store I clicked “get” and it doesn’t install it just goes back to “get” I have already tried signing in and out of my Apple ID and shutting down my phone. I just got this phone and logged out of my Apple ID on my old phone would that affect anything?

I also did try signing back in to my Apple ID on my old phone and tried downloading an app and it worked. I’m not sure what the issue is on my new iPhone.

No, that would not affect the ability to download apps on the new phone. I have four iOS devices signed into my Apple ID and I can download apps on all of them.

also did try signing back in to my Apple ID on my old phone and tried downloading an app and it worked. I’m not sure what the issue is on my new iPhone.

Try a forced restart and the try downloading an app. Press and quickly release the volume up button, then press and quickly release the volume down button, then hold the side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen at which time you can let go of the button.
