Question

Can’t download any apps IPhone 17 pro max

Why can’t I download any apps to my iPhone 17 Pro Max? I can’t download any apps at all, even apps I deleted. I have the space, payment method, etc. but when I click the button nothing happens. How am I supposed to enjoy the iPhone when I can even download basic apps back?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

Try a Force Restart as I have not seen where nothing happens when you tap the Get button or iCloud download button for a previous install in the App Store. Usually you would see a message explaining the issue or some action being performed after tapping the button.

Press and quickly release Volume Up
Press and quickly release Volume Down
Press and HOLD the Side Button until the Apple Logo appears. This could take up to 15 seconds and you will need to ignore anything else on the screen until the Apple Logo appears. If you do not see it, then try again as it may take a couple of attempts to get the speed and sequence of the key presses correct.
