When I try to update a app, it won't let me, I try to download a app from cloud, won't let me but it lets me offload and reload it. I need help?

What does it say when it doesn't let you? Unfortunately you have provided insufficient information for us to propose a specific solution. Describing what happens when you try, and the exact wording of any error messages, would greatly aid us in helping you. In the meantime review these documents if you think they apply:


Click on this link "If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad " --> https://support.apple.com/HT207165

If the first 5 don't help, use the 6th.


Considerations:

Do you have the same problem when using a different Wi-Fi network?

Does restarting your device make any change?

Can you download apps normally on another device?

Log into your account in the App Store/iTunes and you should be able to change/verify it there. Or you can click the blue Edit payment methods in the article below. When signed in and the page loads, you will be on the credit card page. After updating that, click the Go Back button at the lower left and you will be on the address page.


This is the same link Limnos posted above. Apple ID payment information - change.
