Cant download apps i phone

Written By Sumona Chatterjee. Approved By Rohit Arora. Min Reading 6 Min. Summary: Its annoying when you are not able to download an app from iPhone App Store nor update the existing ones. There can be many reasons such as — poor Internet connection, low storage space on your iOS device, a bug in the App Store, faulty iPhone settings, or even a restriction setting on your iPhone that prevent the apps to download.

Continuous and good speed Internet connectivity is essential for smooth download of any app from Apple Store. If you are using cellular data, switch to Wi-Fi connection as Apple allows only up to MB download through cellular data.

Prior to beginning: note that if you just add a legitimate credit card to an Apple ID, the "Verification Required" message won't appear at all, and you're able to prevent verification for updates and installs if you disable "Require Password" for free downloads to your iPhone or even iPad App Store configurations. In case you don't want to include or verify a credit card with the Apple ID, or in the event, the payment method expired, or else you do not want to use one at all, then you must change a setting on your Apple ID to discontinue the "Verification Required" message.

Here's how to do this:. This should completely resolve that the "Verification Required" message if performing App Store actions in iOS while updating programs, downloading new program installing or installing any programs, onto an iPhone or even iPad. If you are using the App Store with no credit card then you would want to choose the "None" option, that allows downloading and updating free programs without needing any kind of verification of payment or even a payment system whatsoever.

Or if the payment method has died, you can choose "None" too and skip the 'Verification Required' message that way as well and then afterward return and upgrade the payment if need be. Remember if you have an outstanding balance on the Apple ID to get a buy, subscription, etc, you must pay that balance before you're able to decide on the "None" option or until you can stop the Verification Required billing message. Therefore, set your date and time to be automatically to solve this problem.

Another common solution to many problems in iOS 12 or 11 is to update to the latest version of the iOS, which may solve the issue caused by system bugs. If you have reached here and tried all the methods above but nothing has worked, you have to erase all the contents and settings on your iPhone and restore iPhone to the factory settings.

As this resort will cause data loss, you'd better make an iPhone backup at first by using a free iPhone data transfer tool. EaseUS MobiMover Free highly recommended here is an excellent utility to move to export and import iPhone files with one-click, such as contacts, messages, notes, calendars, voice mails, books, photos, videos, and audios. Why not download and try it now! After all, it's FREE! The app is available for both Windows and Macs so irrespective of which platform you use, you are covered.

You may need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free. Check which payment method you have on file and make sure it hasn't expired, been declined or failed. If you can't update your apps and you're seeing a message that says "your account is disabled in the App Store", there may be a problem with your payment method. Contact Apple Support for assistance. Therefore, I think it would be better to give this workaround a shot as well.

You will get the option to keep a copy of all your important data like contacts and calendars. Make sure to turn on the toggles for each data type before signing out of your account. After that, sign back in, and that should fix the App Store download and update issues. But worry not, as the latest iOS updates often come with bug fixes and performance enhancements.

So, updating the software can likely troubleshoot the problem. I hope one of the tips or workarounds above helped make the App Store functional on your iPhone or iPad.
