how to fix Playstore waiting for download you might have noticed that
when you're trying to install an app from the Google Play Store sometimes it
just gets stuck on waiting for download for a very long time in this video I'll
be sharing with you guys a couple of steps that you can try to resolve your
issue the first thing you can do to resolve this issue and what's
recommended by Google as well is that you go into your settings and app and
under manage apps look for Google Play
so I will be able to see Google Play services as the Google Play Store and
I'm gonna select Play Store and look for an option called clear data once I do
that I can go back to the Play Store and try to install the app so let's say I
wanna install Twitter app I'm gonna click on install and it still shows the
waiting for download however the process is going to kick off in a few seconds
yep
and there we go I will be able to download the app very soon and yep
it was installed in less than 30 seconds second thing you can try out is in your
Play Store settings look for the app download preference and in case you are
on over Wi-Fi only and you're using data services you might just be getting stuck
because you're not connected to any Wi-Fi network in that case you might
select the over any network option or the second thing is you can try to
connect to a Wi-Fi network and that will resolve your issue
sometimes the issue happens because you do not have enough storage available on
your device so you can actually check that by going into your about phone
option and then under all specifications you should be able to see how much
internal storage you have available so in my case I still have 27 gigabytes and
for that reason the internal memories on my device would not be an issue in case
these steps mentioned before have not work you can actually download the apps
without play store by just searching for the apk so let's say I want to download
facebook app and I'll search for Facebook apk on Google and that will
lead me to result from Google Play but we're not gonna use that and I'm gonna
look for an another source from where I can download so let's go with apk mirror
and I'm gonna just select the download option here and be able to download the
apk from apkmirror.com make sure that if you're downloading apk from an external
third-party website it's a reliable source and maybe you
have an anti-virus installed on your Android phone as well the last tip that
I actually read on some forums was that you might need to try with the battery
saver option disabled on your phone and that might actually resolve your problem
with Play Store so you can try that out as well and let me know if that works
for you so try turning it on try turning it off and see if that resolves your
issue or not if you have any other suggestions as to how you resolved
waiting for download issue on the Play Store let me know through comments I
hope you guys find this video very useful thank you bye
