Try These 3 Easy Fixes to Pause Downloads on Play Store

There are just a few things Google doesn’t do right. From not allowing to quit screens while playing videos on YouTube to not allowing (on surface) to pause downloads on Play-store, google certainly can’t be your ‘perfectly ideal go-to machine’.

We’re all gaming freaks today. The games that come today require high in-app resolutions and data usage. With all these new features coming in, the games and apps that were a few mb on Nokia Java phones a while ago are in GBs today. Need to download one such game like PubG? Also need to save data for late-night chats? Worried about getting data exhausted in one go? Well you need not.

Here are some easy and obvious tricks to help you pause your downloads until you want them to start again.

3 Tricks To Pause App Download in Google Play Store

If you’re an android user of Nougat or above, then this is for you. You can  simply pause your downloads from your home  screen. For pausing, exit play-store but make sure to keep it minimised. Then drag your notification bar which shows the progress of the downloading app or game. You’ll find two tabs there – pause and cancel. You’re to click pause and start it at time of your need. But you need to be careful to not remove it from cache, otherwise you’ll end up losing the progress your downloading has made.

This one’s pretty simple and obvious. You can simply put off your data or WiFi connection. The progress you’ve made is resumed from where you leave the next time you turn it on. A major con of this method however is you cannot surf the internet because it requires you to completely keep off your data. Also, you need to keep the download tab minimised and not removed from your screen.

There’s an another and a generalised way of pausing the downloads. You can follow these :

  • Open Settings
  • Open data usage
  • Find play-store, if not, system apps. You should be able to find it there.
  • Drag to the bottom and find the tool you’re using for your downloads. If it’s mobile data, turn it off. If it’s WiFi, do the same with it.
  • You’re downloading is now paused. However you are free to use your internet for everything else apart from downloading from play-store itself. You can then resume your downloads from where you’ve left by turning it back again.
