Problem of Updating Apps on iPhone: How to Fix it

Two problems in just one week, that is what many users have found in the App Store when they enter to update the apps on their iPhone. One alleges that the app is no longer shared and impossible to update, and the second, curiously, launches double updates to certain iOS applications.

Problem of Updating Apps on iPhone

Many users have seen how when entering the App Store in recent days and touching on the profile photo that gives access to the apps installed on the mobile, they have found a large selection of applications with pending updates. So far nothing strange if it were not park many of them have just been updated and the new version proposed is precisely the one they already have.

Apple has not explained the reason for this, but it could be related to the recent error that showed a message that the app is no longer shared and prevents some users from using it normally. Both problems appear to be replicated in iOS 13.4.1 and iOS 13.5 and affect applications that are so widely used every day like YouTube, Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok or Snapchat.

Solution to the problem

The problem with iOS updates, in principle, has an easy solution. To avoid the message of App not shared appearing, you simply must uninstall these applications affected by the failure and reinstall them again. Another option is to “re-download the application” to be able to use it again without having lost the data hosted on it.

To download an application, simply open the app Settings> General> Storage> Select the application with the problem> Click on the application name> Click on Download application

This fixes the first problem but the second is Apple’s business . Some iOS users have been asked to update apps that were updated the other day, others were sent the same updates twice in two days while others find no more trouble updating apps. Although the company has not commented on it, it seems evident that the two problems are related and that one is the consequence of fixing the previous one.

Installing the same update twice is not a problem for your phone, but if you prefer not to, you just have to wait a few hours for Apple to end the “chaos” that it has caused in the App Store after the update to iOS 13.5.
