Cannot update App or Game on Android, iPhone or iPad. Here’s the easy way how to fix it
Cannot find app or game updates on Apple App Store or Google Play Store?
A new update has been released for an app that you are using or for your favorite game that you are actively playing, you knew the update is coming either from the news or friends or family. And this update is an important one. Without this update, you can’t use the new features.
You might even have seen them (friends, families) updating to the latest version and got the new features, but somehow when you try to update the app or game yourself on your smartphone or tablet, somehow the App Store or Play Store told you that you have already gotten the latest one while you are 100% sure it wasn’t.
Does that scenario often happen to you or just happened? Well, you are not alone.
