iOS 26 app update glitch

since updating to iOS 26, I am unable to update any applications. Even my App Store says needs update but when I click that it brings me to the web. The icon even looks different.

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

Going to need to see some screenshots of what you are seeing. Just make sure they don't include any personal information. You can post them here using the "Picture" icon on the menu under your post.

I assume you are using iPad OS 26.2 and should be able to determine that by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
