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?

Thanks Limnos,

I did steps 1-5 several times. Went to step 6 - which is this thread.

I turned off WiFi and attempted update on mobile network. Prompt asks if you want to download using mobile data or wait for WiFi connection. I selected wait.

Once WiFi switched back on, the download starts.

So the routine becomes:

Select “Update all” in AppStore

Turn off wifi on iphone

Select “download later with Wifi” when prompted

Turn WiFi back on…😳

Thank again for your help. Must be the WiFi - as per your first suggestion.
