Google Play Store Not Downloading Apps: Fix

Short answer: If downloads are stuck or won't install, check connection, storage and updates.

Is Android down?

Android has no public status page. If friends on other networks see the same problem, it's probably an outage: wait and retry.

How to fix it: step by step

1. Use a strong Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.
2. Make sure you have enough free storage.
3. Install any Android system update.
4. Restart your phone and try again.
5. Clear Google Play Store cache if it's still stuck.
