Hi I am failing to update any of my free apps. It keep saying my family sharing information needs to be updated but I am no longer on family sharing. Is the any reason I can’t update my free apps ?

If the free apps you are trying to update were purchased by another family member when you were in Family Sharing, you will need to delete the app, and download the app using your Apple ID. You may have to sign out of the App Store/iTunes, restart the phone, and sign back in before you can download the app again.


Check your purchases history.
