If the app store no longer loads updates or new apps on your iPhone or iPad, this may be due to a poor connection. We will show you how to check the network connection to your iPhone or iPad and how to fix the problem.

iPhone / iPad: App Store does not download updates or apps

• Turn on flight mode, wait a few seconds, and then turn it off. The process is now stopped and can be started again.
• If it is only a small app with a size of a few MByte, you can briefly switch to the mobile network. Deactivate the WLAN connection and try the update or installation again.
• If that doesn't help either, switch your iPhone or iPad completely off and on again. This eliminates small errors in the buffer.
• Finally, the App Store remains on your computer. Connect your iOS device to your PC or Mac using the USB cable and download the app via iTunes.
