Some iPhone Users Unable to Update Apps After Installing iOS 16 [Update: Fixed]

[MacRumors]

It appears that there is an issue with the App Store, as some iPhone users who have updated have found themselves unable to install apps. MacRumors has received several reports from people who are running into an issue that seems to be caused by an updated Terms and Conditions page.

After installing iOS 16, attempting an app update directs affected users to a new Terms and Conditions page. When accepting the Terms and Conditions, it loads momentarily and then pops up an error alert. "There was an error. Please try later," reads the notification.

Apple's servers may be having problems at the current time, which is likely what's leading to the error message. There is no word yet on when the problem will be fixed, and it does not appear to be affecting all users.

Most people who are running into issues have installed iOS 16, but it may also be impacting some people who are still running iOS 15 or who have updated to iOS 15.7 or iPadOS 15.7.

Update: Apple has fixed the problem and apps are now able to be downloaded.

Oh good it’s not just me.

Their legal team probably didn't finish the MSA on time.

Looks like iOS 16 beta 2 will be released soon.

Is anyone able to get it to work? I don't think that it's "some" users.

 

[fwmireault]

Can’t update my apps either

 

[abi12a]

Happening with 15.7 and 16 here

 

[fishmoose]

Yeah I get this on my iPhone running iOS 16 and my iPad running 15.7.

 

[BB1970]

Did all the rebooting tricks. Nothing worked.

 

[titan4]

Nothing to do with iOS 16. The same error is also in Mac App Store

 

[max2]

Even before the update.

Yep your 100% right.

I saw the error both under iOS 15.6.1 on my iPhone, iPadOS 15.7 on my iPad, and now again on my iPhone under iOS 16.0. Also shows up on macOS 12.6's App Store.

I’m guessing it’s a server thing because I’m running into this problem, and I haven’t even updated yet. [I see that the last part of the article acknowledges this.]

100% right.

No issues here. Just updated a bunch of apps.

Before publishing this article you saw many saying it’s not a iOS 16 issue, it’s also on iPads and phones on iOS 15 as well. Stop trying to bait the readers and post the facts

 

[PeeWee1963]

Same for me. The Apple server are under heavy load, watchOS 9 now lasts 2 hours to download.

 

[mark-in-mk]

Im getting the error without updating. Still on 15.6.1

 

[MacBird]

Not just on iOS, I have the same problem on macOS.

 

[Mizouse]

It’s happening to me on 14.8 as well.

 

[davidlgsmith]

Having the same issue on both iOS and Apple App Store.

 

[IlikeAppleiinOhio]

signed out of AppleID and back in, phone reboot, nothing works...Affects iPad OS update also.

Working now - 3:11pm EST on both iPad and iPhone

 

[PBG4 Dude]

No issues here. Just updated a bunch of apps.

Same here. On 15.6.1 and I updated 2 apps after reading the article. Wanted to see if I was having the problem but I am not.

 

[IlikeAppleiinOhio]

They probably just forgot to tell us they are no longer supporting non Apple Apps.
