Suddenly unable to downloads apps

A new problem has emerged today. Now when I try to get a new app from the App Store, it never completes the process and there's no message to explain why. The apps are all free ones. I click to obtain and download them, but the screen just flipss back to the download screen without any downloading. I try again. Same result. Turning in circles.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Start here, check the network connection:

You need to have a good Service and/or Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.


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

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

👉 If you tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, contact Apple Support.
