There are ways to free up storage on an iPhone and even expand your iPhone's memory. There are several ways to fix an iPhone that fails or stalls while attempting to download apps. If apps on your device won't download, try these fixes, in this order. Download apps using Wi-Fi on your iPhone.
Apple limits the size of apps you can download over cellular networks to MB. Older versions of iOS set the limit to MB. This prevents people from using too much data on a single download. If the app you want to download is bigger than that, connect to Wi-Fi and try again.
Make sure the phone isn't in Airplane Mode , which blocks all Wi-Fi and cellular network connections. Restart the App Store app. The bug in downloading the app may have to do with the App Store app. Quitting the App Store app may clear the bug.
After you quit the app, re-open the App Store app and download the app again. Pause and restart the app download. This tip works when the app download stalls. If an app icon appears on your home screen, but the download has slowed or stalled, tap the icon for the app you're attempting to install. This pauses the download.
Wait a short time and then tap it again to resume the download. Restart the iPhone. Sometimes you need to restart a device to get things working again. There may be a temporary glitch in the operating system or a software component. A restart usually resolves these issues. Check your Apple ID payment method. To download apps, you need to connect a payment method to your Apple ID, even if you're downloading a free app. If you do not have a payment method on file, or if your card is expired, you might not be able to download apps.
