Cancel Play Store Download - Here's how
This practical tip explains how to cancel a Play Store download that has already started.
Cancel download in the Google Play Store
If you allow automatic app updates in the Google Play Store, you will occasionally receive a download message for the relevant applications. However, if you are not currently in a WLAN network, you can simply cancel the download and run it at a later time.
- If the download arrow appears in the notification bar, pull it down and switch to the Google Play Store with one tap.
- A download bar appears under the title image for the application to be updated. Tap the cross on the right to cancel the download.
- You will find updates to be carried out later under the "Installed Apps" tab.
