Step 1: Unlock Your iPhone

Before you can update your apps, make sure to unlock your iPhone by pressing the home button or using Face ID or Touch ID. This will take you to the home screen where all your apps are located.

Step 2: Locate the App Store

To update your apps, you need to access the App Store. Look for the blue icon with a white letter ‘A’ on it. Tap on it to open the App Store.

Step 3: Go to Updates

Once you’re in the App Store, you’ll see five icons at the bottom of the screen. Tap on ‘Updates’ which is represented by an arrow forming a circle. This will take you to the updates page.

Step 4: Update Individual Apps

On the updates page, you’ll find a list of all available app updates. If there are any pending updates for your installed apps, they will appear here. Scroll through the list and look for the app(s) that need updating.

  • Bold text: Identify the app(s) that require an update by looking for their names in bold text.
  • Underlined text: You might also notice some underlined text indicating what changes or improvements are included in each update.

  3. Tap on the ‘Update’ button.
  4. Wait for the update to download and install. The progress circle will show you how much has been downloaded.

Step 5: Update All Apps

If you have multiple apps that need updating, you can choose to update them all at once instead of updating them individually. Here’s how:

To update all apps:

  1. On the updates page, look for the ‘Update All’ button at the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Bold text: Tap on it to update all your pending apps in one go.
