Cannot connect to App Store or any of my Apps.

All of a sudden (today)I cannot connect to the App store or any of my apps. It says I need WiFi and I AM connected to WiFi. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and IOS version 26.2. Has anyone experienced this?

Also note that being connected to Wifi is not the same as having an internet access. You can certainly be connected to your Router, which is the WiFi connection and the router is not connected to the internet.

  • Restart your router and check connectivity.
  • Switch off WiFi on your iPhone to check cellular connectivity.
  • Do you have a VPN? If so remove it, just turning it off is not likely to help.
