Google Play Download Pending

Updated: Mar 29, 2023

Google Play Store can become a rather problematic service sometimes. While our window remains to millions of applications, many of which we love, it is often also a frustrating experience when you decide to stop working for no apparent reason. There is the Play Store error 910, or the "pending download" error, for example, is one that is much more common among users than we would like it to be. The installation of the applications is not complete and we get a progress bar of continuous download or simply a "Google play download pending " error. Without a native alternative integrated in Android, we have no choice but to solve the problem and wait for it to work again.

The pending download error occurs when you start a download in the Play Store, but it is not complete. Instead, you will see this error with an option to cancel the download. Of course, this is better than making the entire Play Store disappear from your phone (however, you can restore Google Play Store with this guide). Anyway, here are the common solutions to the notorious error pending download from Play Store.

Check current downloads and updates:

Go to the Settings of your phone and open your Application / Application Manager

Locate Google Play Store in the list of applications.

Touch Force stop and clear the cache or data

Note: For some phones, you must select Storage to view Data and cache

Verify your storage and SD card

If you didn't do it but still suspect that it might be causing the problem, verify it manually by going to Settings> Storage.

Free up some space by uninstalling unused applications or deleting old photos and videos that you have backed up elsewhere.

Then you can try downloading it one more time.

Restart your phone

Restarting your phone will update your RAM by deleting all temporary data stored for your Google Play Store, which includes updates or stuck download files. You can restart your phone by selecting the Turn off option and then turning the phone back on or by simply selecting the Reset option. After restarting your device, check if you can download or update applications now.

Disable automatic updates and stop pending installations:

Most applications will be blocked if automatic updates are enabled for your Google Play Store and if they stop, others can be updated. You can also stop all updates in the library and start updating the application individually without any problem. A better option is to check "Do not automatically update applications" so you never receive this error in the future.

Open Play Store and press the settings bar in the upper left corner of the screen or simply switch to the right

Scroll down, go to Settings.

Touch the Update applications automatically option and select Do not update applications automatically

Go through the configuration bar again and this time select My applications and games

Try updating the applications manually, but if it doesn't work, stop all updates.

Go to the second tab - INSTALLED - and check there. Some downloads may be pending and will be blocked.

Cancel blocked applications and then try to update and download the application again.
