Why Are App Updates Missing in iOS 17.5.1?

My problem with latest ios update is that the app store/account page no longer shows the apps available to be updated. I had quite a few and now I can’t remember them all. I did update a couple that I did remember by searching in the app store and then each separately. When I called apple they said this was as expected in the new release, but that sounds crazy to me. Anyone else seeing this issue?

The answer was posted and verified to work by several of us that had the same issue, try this: kexv said: I did my own research and found that turning off the app updates and turning it on at settings (search App Store in the search bar at settings), it suddenly came back.

I followed his suggestion (see below) and it’s worked for me! So glad it works, as now I see I have 80 ish apps to update…


Good luck everyone! Hope this will be fixed soon by the Apple Engineers, so others don’t have to dig the internet like us.🤣

Go back to App Store settings. Pull the screen down , hold it you’ll see the sprocket turning when it stops let go and they’ll magically appear!!

I had this issue suddenly for about 24 hours and had to manually update apps. I did my own research and found that turning off the app updates and turning it on at settings (search App Store in the search bar at settings), it suddenly came back.


Edit (Important): After you do this, you go to the app store profile and refresh the page to fully reveal all the apps that is needed to be updated.

This happened for me and my kids today. We have had iOS 17.5.1 installed from day one…but it happened today. I have noticed the last 1-2 weeks that the app update (when pulling down and waiting for results) has taken much longer time lately, and today all apps (historic app updates) vanished. Much be a «bug» from Apple somewhere.


However, I dis try the Settings->Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions-> toggle off and wait for a minute, then enable again….and I got an app update again
