Unable to Download Apps in Google Play Store ?
Hi guys, sometimes I couldn't Download or Update my Apps in Play Store. Have you experienced it too ? Then if I try to do the "always" solution, I still failed. I tried to do another one then yay it success ^_^ but it repeated again :'(. Finally, I've been using about 8 ways to solve it for my 2 devices plus 2 solutions from my friend who had the same problem with me. So, I will share 10 ways to Solve Download, Install, and Update Problems on the Play Store. I hope this video can be useful for you.
Each
device can have a different solution, so please be patient to try doing
step 1, then if it still can't try to do the step 2 then step 3, and so
on.
Before doing the steps below, let's restart your device first ^_^
How to Resolve app installation errors in Google Play Store ?
1. Check the Internet of WiFi or Cellular Data Connection
This is an important thing to solve and prevent this matter from happening again. I've already experience these points below.
- Restart the WiFi Router by unplugging the power plug for about 1 minute then plug it in again
A few days later, it happened again 😣 but I've already reset the Router so I dropped down the notification box to see my Connection then I saw the WiFi name changed (yeah, I've more than 1 router in this area) so I change my WiFI setting on my phone, Try to Download again and it success yeahhh 😎
- Open your Setting App ➜ Network & Internet ➜ Wi-Fi ➜ WiFi Preferences ➜ Turn Off Automatically WiFi
Why my Play Store is not downloading and updating apps?
2. Check Date and Time on your Device
Check the Time, Date and Year on your Device, is it correct ? Or use the Automatic Time Zone on your Device.
Sometimes my phone suddenly turn off maybe because overused. It can't be turn on in normally way, so I turn it on with Factory Reset. Then I happened to download apps but it can't be Installed. So, I check the date and time and it's totally wrong. I fixed it then Try to Download again and Voila it Can be Download.

If the storage space is low, the app will stop downloading and installing, especially when you Download Games 😱

- The available storage space on your device is less than 1-2 GB.
