App updates not working

While I can download and install a new app from the app store, the updating of current apps is failing. I have 7 apps currently that need to be updated and none of them will complete the process. It goes through the motions and it fails as soon as it appears it is almost completed.


Any ideas?

You need to have a good Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.
