App "Store" Stuck on "Waiting..."
4.5
You try to download an app, but the icon just sits there saying "Waiting" or "Pending" forever.
Symptoms
- Download stuck
- No progress
- Grayed out icon
Possible Causes
- App Store server lag
- Storage full
- Network switch glitch
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Pause and Resume
Tap the icon to stop, then tap again to restart the download.
2
Sign Out of App Store
Settings > [Name] > Media & Purchases > Sign Out, then sign back in.

Check Storage Space
If you have less than 1GB free, the store might refuse to start the download.
When to See a Technician
Sometimes the "download queue" gets stuck; restarting the phone usually clears the blockage.
