i have a replaced iphone 7S only a few of the apps completely downloaded. The rest (60-75%) are either stuck in loading (2) and the remainder are stuck in 'w aiting' How do I complete download?
iOS has long stopped automatic updates on apps for some time now, regardless of whether or not your "Automatic Updates" button is selected to the "on" position. They never auto-updated all throughout iOS 11 and iOS 10. Now that we're on iOS 12, it would appear that Apple gives zero fu*ks about addressing this complaint from many different iOS users anytime soon. All you can do is manually check perodically when you go to the app store to maybe download a new app, or something equivilant to that.
Updating apps turns off when I sign out of iCloud and then back in. I turn it on but still my phone (iPhone CS Max) does not automatically update my apps. Advise?? Lou200@gmail.com
