Several iPhone and iPad users have stated that they are unable to access the App Store because users see a white blank screen when they go to the App Store. Sometimes the App Store Updates page is also not showing and loading.
You will need to load the App Store so that you can download apps. This article explains how you can fix if you see a white and blank screen when you open the App Store.
Blank App Store Fix
Test after each step to see if your issue is resolved:
1-The first thing you may want to do is to check Apple’s System Status page. This is Apple’s support page with status information for its services, stores and iCloud. Go to this page and look for “App Store”. If this page shows any issues, you may unable to fully access or use the App Store. If this is the case, Apple is the one to blame, and Apple will resolve this. You just need to wait.
2-Restart the App Store app. Here is how:
- iPhone X or later, iPad with iOS 12 or later: Go to your Home screen and swipe up, this will bring up the app switcher. Swipe left or right until you find the App Store. Swipe up on the app’s preview to close it. Then reopen the App Store.
- Other iPad or iPhone models: Double press the home button and swipe up on the App Store preview to close it. Then reopen the App Store.
3-The second thing is to make sure that your iOS or iPadOS device is connected to the Internet by ensuring that your device has a Wi-Fi connection or a cellular-data connection. If you are not connected to the Internet, the App Store will not load. Open Safari and open a web site. Does the web site load? If not, you may have a connection problem. Here is how you can troubleshoot:
- On your device, turn on Airplane Mode, wait for one minute and then turn it off (Settings > Airplane Mode).
- If you are trying to open the App Store over cellular, make sure that Cellular Data is enabled for the App Store. To check this, go to Settings and tap Cellular or tap Mobile Data, then turn on “App Store”.
- If you are trying to open the App Store over Wi-Fi, make sure that your device is not too far away from your router. You may also try to restart your router. To restart your router, unplug it from its power source, wait 1 minute and then plug it back in.
