Google Play Store comes with default app download preferences that is “Over Wi-Fi Only.” This means you can only install apps from Play Store if you are connected to Wi-Fi. If you are installing an additional memory card, then you can switch your default Play Store download location to SD card. Therefore, either clear your device storage or add an external SD card. If it finds your device storage is way too low, which is not enough for the selected app, then it will either cancel or leave a message “waiting for download.”
This neat tip was shared on social media this past weekend but it was actually our own Jeff Benjamin’s original discovery dating back to 2014, as evidenced by the video embedded below.The reason is when you tap on the install button the Play Store will first check your device’s internal storage. Another user has confirmed that the fix also works in the native Watch, Podcasts and iTunes Store apps on iOS. The cache-clearing trick should also help with the App Store getting slower than usual. I can confirm that this nonintuitive but useful “hack” works on my iPhone 6s and iPad Air, both running the latest version of iOS. You can also try holding down the Power button until a “Slide to Power Off” message appears, then hold the Home button to force-quite the App Store app. Now those pending updates should either disappear or show the Update button next to them. The screen should go blank for a couple of seconds as the App Store clears its web view cache and reloads Javascript code.

Step 2: If you are running an older version of iOS (ie. Step 1: Open App Store on your iOS device.

This is what some users are seeing in the App Store. As it turns out, this is a caching issue that can be easily circumvented with a simple, cool trick.
I first noticed this odd behavior back in the summer and thought it was a temporary problem that would get fixed soon, but it persisted. Have you experienced an annoying hiccup in the App Store where it shows that one or more apps need updating but you can’t actually apply the updates? Or perhaps the App Store’s icon on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad’s Home screen is showing a badge even though you’ve just successfully downloaded all app updates?
