We have all encountered problems with Google Play at some point. Every app has its issues.

Here are some common fixes to the notorious Play Store download pending error and other common problems.

How to fix the Play Store download pending error

Editor's note: Some of the steps in this guide were put together using a Pixel 4a with 5G running Android 12. Keep in mind steps might be different depending on your device and the Android version you're running.

Check current downloads and updates

More often than not, the Play Store download pending error culprits are apps updating simultaneously. You will also encounter the problem if you download multiple apps simultaneously or a couple of huge ones. If you urgently need to download Uber to get a ride, for example, there is a solution.

Keep track of updates:

  1. Launch the Google Play Store.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Manage apps & device.
  4. Tap on the Manage tab.
  5. You will see which applications are in the process of being updated or downloaded.
  6. Just press the X next to their name to cancel the download and proceed with getting the app you urgently need.

Check your connection

This should always be one of the first steps you take, as the issue might not even be with the Play Store. It's always a good idea to make sure you're connected to the internet. If you are using Wi-Fi, try opening a website and seeing if it loads. You can also test your internet speed here. If nothing else is working, you likely have an internet problem. Try restarting your router first.

Those using data might want to see if their cellular connection is on:

  1. Open theSettings app.
  2. Go intoNetwork & internet.
  3. SelectMobile network.
  4. ToggleMobile data on.
  5. If you're outside your country or network coverage, also toggle Roaming on (this may incur extra charges).

Make sure you've enabled data downloads, too:

  1. Open the Google Play Store.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Hit Settings.
  4. Expand the Network preferences section.
  5. Go into App download preference.
  6. Make sure the Over any network option is turned on.

Check your storage and SD card

A common cause for Google Play problems is a lack of storage on your phone or SD card. Usually, you will receive a notification if your storage is low when attempting a download. However, if you still want to make sure storage is not causing the download to pend, there are a couple of things you can do.

Check how much storage you're using:

  1. Open the Settings.
  2. Go into Storage.
  3. This page will show you how much data you have at your disposal.

You might also want to free up some space by uninstalling unused apps or deleting old photos and videos you have backed up elsewhere.

If the download is still pending, your SD card might be at fault — it might not be positioned or set up correctly. Cancel the download, eject the SD card, then carefully reposition it and reattempt.

Restart your device

If you aren't downloading anything and your connection is fine, but your download is still pending, you should try restarting your device. It might be another no-brainer step, but it's a surprisingly effective one. Just press and hold the power button on your device, then tap Restart.

Download apps through your browser instead

  2. Log into your Google Account. It needs to be the same one you're using on your device.
  3. Look for the app you want to download and select it.
  4. Hit Install.
  5. Select which device you want to download the app on.
  6. Hit Install.

Factory data reset

If all else fails, maybe you need to hit the red emergency button you've been trying to avoid all along. A factory data reset will wipe your phone clean and leave it back the way it was when you first turned it on (at least software-wise). This means all your photos, videos, and other files will be deleted, so make sure to back them up before performing a factory data reset.

How to perform a factory data reset on Android:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go into System.
  3. Hit Reset options.
  4. Select Erase all data (factory reset).
  5. Hit Erase all data.
  6. Enter your PIN.
  7. Hit Erase all data again to confirm your choice.
