iOS App Store update icons

Same here,jazcan. I noticed this starting last night as well. I only noticed on my iPads since I did not check my iPhone at that time. I checked the iPhone maybe 1/2 hour ago and that's when I noticed it on that device as well.

I tried the same thing you did as far as signing out/in of the App Store along with a forced restart with nothing working/fixing it. I've also found it not to be specific network dependent. I am in the US so the Canadian App Store theory doesn't jive. Looks like it's yet another issue to add onto the pile. 😐

Having the same problem. Other threads are reporting the same problem.

Hi all,

had similar issue. In fact "issues" after updatingto iOS 9.

I was able to solve of them resetting iPad.

Turn off completely > hold sceen off button (same button that you used to turn off iPad) and home button ( round button that you use as fingerprint scanner) simultaneously > Wait until Apple logo appears >Leave buttons > iPad will restart > Connect to internet before you go to App Store. Your problem should be solved.

Thank You. :-)

This is a long shot guess and only a guess. Apple has a new concept called "App Slicing" The developers can send you just a iPad app or iPhone app instead of one size fits all making the app smaller freeing up memory space. Since only the App Store icon is effected it's not a big deal but you might want to send feedback anyway.

Didn't work for me.

Me too! Ipone 4s, ipad 3 and iPad air. VariOS's iOS and unique apps per device. If it's to update it's gray. Started two days ago. Apple support was unaware. Seems univeral.

HI,

try signing out of all your accounts that need Apple ID and sign in again.

If prob still persists then I think you need to wait until next update to iOS9.

I doubled checked and the apps updated on the 7th and before have the icon. It will probably remain one of lives many mysteries and then one day it will be fixed.

I have versions of iOS 8 and 9 doing this. So it is not specific to 9. So odd.

This issue is not solely due to iOS 9 and resetting/power-cycling/logging out/in of the App Store in my personal experience (and apparently evidenced as others here) has no effect. To complicate things, different devices being used here in the household are behaving differently:

2 iPad mini 2's, iOS 9.0.2: icons: no

iPad Air 2, iOS 9.0.2: icons: no

iPhone 5s (#1), iOS 9.0.2: icons: no

iPhone 5s (#2), iOS 8.4: icons: yes

iPad 4th gen, iOS 8.4: icons: no

My iPhone 5 just started getting the icons again.

Same here now as well. After reading your post above, I went back to check on iPhone 5s (#1) and the icons were still blank...but after closing off the App Store app from multitasking again (I always close it and all other apps when done with them), then re-opening and tapping on each App Store section along the bottom (Featured, Top Charts, etc), one I hit Updates, all icons were filled properly. After this initial instance on the iPhone, I went to each device and did the same thing and all devices update icons are properly populated. The trigger seemed to be closing off the App Store from multitasking twice.

Oddness to say the least but at least this particular little niggle seems to have resolved itself.
