Fix App Stuck on Updating in IOS

The Google Keep app on my iPhone 5s with IOS 9.3.3 is stuck on updating. I could neither launch the app nor delete it normally by holding down the icon (the X icon showed up, but nothing happened when clicking it). I tried the following fixes on the web, but no luck.

  • cancel the update and retry updating
  • reboot the phone and delete the app or retry updating
  • log out the App store on the phone (Settings, iTunes & App Store, Apple ID, Sign Out) and log in and retry updating

Some other suggestions are to reset the phone or connect the iPhone to a computer with iTune and delete the stuck app from iTune. I don’t want to either of these.

Luckily I found the following solution to delete the stuck app and re-download it from the App store.

  • Navigate to Settings, General, Storage & iCloud Usage, Manage Storage
  • Find the stuck app and click on it
  • Click Delete App
  • Then go back to App Store and re-download it under Updates, Purchased
