Apps won't redownload?

Recently, I deleted some apps off my phone to make more room. I decided to redownload some apps like Facebook, Snapchat, Skype, Instagram, etc. I press "Get" and it shows it start to download and then stops. I have 5.5 GB left on my phone. I've tried deleting pictures, deleting bigger apps, deleting music, tried a hard reset and tried using a different Apple account. None of this has worked. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas please???

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.2

Hello,


Have you tried:

Try tapping the App, so that when it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.


Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.


If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone and then it should definitely work.


If none of this works I would recommend you contact Official Apple Support
