[iPhone 7 Plus] Apps not downloading

Hi all,

So I restored my iPhone from backup but found that none of my apps were downloading, they were just stuck on 'waiting' for like 2 hours.

I then set the phone up as new in the hopes of then just being able to download apps new. However that has failed too.

I've found that the app store in general is not really working properly with none of the pictures loading, and it taking ages to search for stuff. This is kinda weird considering my internet is perfectly fine on my MAC nearby.

Any thoughts?

Try resetting network settings on the phone. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to enter your WiFi passwords again.

I Have seen situations where my two Macs, and my iPhone would connect to the internet but my iPad would not. Rebooting my router, restarting the device or resetting network settings would get me back on track.

It worked! And it worked in the first try! I went into settings and deleted one app and then back to home screen and re tapped each app and boom! Thanks!!!!!!!
