The App store is not allowing me to update apps

I tried updating a few apps and it asked for my Apple ID which I entered but it wouldn’t take it saying it couldn’t verify it. This does not make sense because I can still download apps using my fingerprint and there is no trouble whatsoever. I am well aware that I put in the right ID so at this point I am thoroughly confused.

See the Apple Support article(s) below.


App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - If you can't connect


Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device.      


If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
