If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support


If you are experiencing difficulties with adding or removing Apps to/from your iPad, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
  • Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow


Be aware that iPadOS14.7.1 is current. If your iPad is still running iPadOS14.6, as indicated, you should update as soon as possible. Recent updates include essential security updates/
