In that case, connect to a different Wi-Fi network or ask your friend to start his mobile hotspot. On a horrible day, it may also happen that your mobile data plan is not working or is too slow to download apps. See if toggling the Wi-Fi button helps you download the app using your mobile data plan. Your Wi-Fi is not working as intended or is terribly slow due to some error. You can then download the app you want first before resuming with the update.

To cancel downloading an app, tap on the ‘x’ button or tap the Stop button to cancel all downloads at once. To counter that, open the Play Store, tap on the menu icon, and select My apps and games. However, the app you are trying to download may be in a queue, and hence you see the download pending error.

The Play Store downloads and installs the latest version of apps on your device automatically.
