Google Play Store Issue: Can not download apps on your Android smartphone? Here's how to fix it

Not being able to download an app from the Google Play Store despite Internet connectivity or insufficient storage on the smartphone is one of the most common issues faced by Android smartphone users. If you encounter a similar problem that prevents you from downloading an app or updating it with the help of Play Store, we have presented some of the reasons for the problem and their solution. Read on to find your problem and fix it.

First:
Before going any further, check if the smartphone is connected to a working Internet network or not. It sometimes happens that the Internet does not work and Google Play Store therefore continues to display the Pending option.

Another important factor is an application with a relatively large file size, which requires Wi-Fi connectivity to download. In this case, uncheck the 'Download to Wi-Fi' option in the download confirmation popup window or connect the smartphone to a Wi-Fi network to download the application.

If you followed the steps above and checked all the factors and still can not download an app from the Play Store, follow the steps.

Clearing the cache and data from the Play Store
Clearing the cache and data from the Play Store helps remove unnecessary clutter from the Play Store app and can help solve the problem.

We must not forget another factor. Sometimes, if a user has just finished setting up their Android smartphone and then trying to download an app, the Play Store displays the message on hold because the Google Account is in sync mode or is already downloading applications badociated with the account. In this case, wait for the download or synchronization to complete, then try to download the application.
