# How to resolve Google Play Store download issues?
Nowadays most of us use Android smartphones, and to download any new app we use Google Play Store. But sometimes it happens that we try to download an app and it does not download. Either the download does not start, or it gets stuck in the middle, or it shows "Pending" repeatedly.

If you are also facing this problem, then do not panic. In this blog, we will tell you all the reasons for the problem of not downloading apps from Google Play Store and their easy solution – one by one, in simple language.

**1. Check the Internet connection**

To download apps from Google Play Store, first of all you need a fast and stable internet connection . If the network is weak, the download may fail.

**What to do:**

Turn Wi-Fi or Mobile Data off and on again

Turn Airplane Mode on for 10 seconds and then off again

Check your internet speed by opening YouTube or any website in a browser

If Wi-Fi is slow, try mobile data or vice versa

**2. Check the phone's storage space**

If your phone's internal storage is full, Google Play Store will not download new apps. Many times we don't understand that this is the real reason.

**How to check:**

Go to Settings > Storage and see how much free space is left

If space is low, delete some photos, videos or useless apps

You can remove “Junk Files” and “Duplicate Files” using apps like “Files by Google”

**3. Clear the cache and data of Google Play Store**

Play Store is an app that stores temporary data. If this data gets corrupted, downloading may be problematic.

**How to clean:**

Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage

Tap "Clear Cache" and then "Clear Data"

Then open Play Store again and try downloading it

**4. Update Google Play Services or clear its cache**

Google Play Services is a background app that helps the Play Store to function properly. If there is a problem with it, the download may stop.

**What to do:**

Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage

Do both "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data"

then restart the phone

You can also update Google Play Services from Play Store (if available)

**5. Keep the Download Manager on**

Downloading apps from the Play Store is done through Android's "Download Manager". If it is closed or disabled, then downloading will not happen.

**How to check:**

Settings > Apps > All Apps > Download Manager

If it shows Disabled, tap on “Enable”

If it is already on, you can also clear its cache and data

**6. Sign out of Google account and login again**

Sometimes a temporary error occurs in the Google account due to which the download stops.

**What to do:**

Settings > Accounts > Google > Select your account

Tap on “Remove Account”

Then login again by clicking “Add Account”

Now open Play Store and try to download the app again

**7. Force stop Google Play Store and reopen it**

This is an immediate solution when the Play Store is stuck or hanging.

**How to do:**

Settings > Apps > Google Play Store

Tap on "Force Stop"

Then open Play Store from home screen and try the download again

**8. Check automatic update and download settings**

Many times settings like "Download over Wi-Fi only" or "Auto-update only on Wi-Fi" are turned on in the Play Store settings, due to which apps are not downloaded on mobile data.

**How to check:**

Open Google Play Store

Profile icon > Settings > Network Preferences > App Download Preference

Select “Over any network” here

You can also auto-update apps “over any network”

**9. Keep the date and time of the phone correct**

If the phone's date and time are incorrect, it cannot be synced with Google's server, which stops the download.

**How to do:**
