If you use a FairPhone, or a phone running eOS/MurenaOS, which is as degoogled version of Android (no affiliation to me besides I use their devices/OS).

Sometimes the app store “App Lounge” gets stuck updating apps, my old solution was to delete the app and reinstall it but that can be a pain. Then I discovered a slightly better solution.

  • Go to settings
  • Apps & Notifications
  • Find App Lounge
  • Then go to Storage & cache
  • Clear storage and “Delete app data”

You will need to log in again to the app, but the update process shouldn’t get stuck anymore hopefully.
