iTunes search not working on iPhone

Is anyone else having trouble with iTunes search on the iPhone? I find that sometimes when I type something into iTunes search nothing shows up in the results but when I quit the app and reopen it then do the same search the results show up. Also if I try to do multiple searches I have to quit the app and open it again to continue searching.

iPhone 14 Pro

Thank you. I’ve tried that and I still have the problem. The weird thing is I don’t get the message that it can’t connect to the store. When I click on the search icon I see the search bar and the list of suggestions they give before you type anything. When I type my search item the suggestions list is still there. It doesn’t give me a list of suggestions based on what I typed to search. I now know when I go to search and if the suggestions doesn’t relate to what I start typing then I close the app and reopen it. I’m gonna try apple support and hopefully they can figure it out cause it’s a pain having to close the app to do a search.

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
