Tapping the download button but nothing happens

I installed an app recently and it was working fine until it started kicking me from the app. I deleted the app and then tried to re-download it but now nothing is happening. I keep tapping download and install but nothing happens. It just does the loading thing and goes straight back to “purchase”. Any idea how to fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14
