If you can’t download or update any apps, including free apps, and you see a message about billing or payment, learn what to do.
Some apps might get interrupted while they're downloading. Try these steps:
Connect to Wi-Fi
If you’re using cellular data or Wi-Fi and have issues with an app, try to connect to another Wi-Fi network. You can use cellular data for apps up to 150 MB* in size.
To check your Wi-Fi connection, try streaming a video from the Internet to see if it loads quickly. Get help connecting to Wi-Fi or contact your Internet provider for more help.
Pause and restart the app download
If you have an iPhone 6s or later, firmly press the app from the Home screen. You might see options to Resume Download, Pause Download, or Cancel Download. If the app download is paused, tap Resume Download. If it's stuck, tap Pause Download, then firmly press the app again and tap Resume Download.
You can also open the App Store and tap Updates to see downloads in progress or apps that need to be updated.

If you used Touch ID on an iPhone before, all you had to do to install apps and games from the App Store was rest your fingertip on the Home button. On the iPhone X, there's Face ID instead, and Apple has included on-screen instructions to help everyone adjust to the lack of Home button. Still, those instructions may not be working for you, but the solution is as simple as a misinterpretation.
Why Apple Uses Clicks with Face ID
After you've set up Face ID on your iPhone X, installing apps and games and using Apple Pay to make purchases from the lock screen is as easy as staring at your screen, right? Wrong.
To prevent accidental downloads and purchases, Apple included another step that requires you to 'Double Click to Install' or 'Double Click to Pay.' These instructions pop up on the screen whenever you try to use Face ID to install items from the App Store or use Apple Pay to buy something.
