Facing difficulties using app store

I have opened an apple id perfectly but it is not working... Specially to download apps it always seems "cannot connect, retry"

What is the exact problem happening?

It sounds like your Apple device may be having trouble connecting to WiFi.

  • Can you download email? Messages? Is the App Store the only thing not connecting?
  • Which iPhone do you have? What is its iOS?

Answers to these questions will help us try to determine the solution to your problem.

If other devices can access the internet

Check your VPN and third-party security software on your device.


If no other devices can access the internet

Turn off your Wi-Fi router, then turn it on again to reset it.
