Q: Deleted waiting app now cant download that app again.

So yesterday night I noticed an app of mine was grayed out and said waiting... instead of the origanal name. Pressing on it did nothing. I eventually deleted said app but now when I try to redownload, I press on the download from cloud button and it will go to spinny cicle then back to cloud button. Right now I have gotten it to settle on the downloading symbol but it hasnt gone anywhere in 12 hours.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.0.2

Hey raizingkane,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I can see from your post that you've been having issues with a certain app that won't download even when you've tried to remove it and restart the process. It's important to get the most from your device and all of its apps and features and I'd be happy to provide some direction to get this download to complete. If you haven't already, we can try to force close the App Store app itself, restart your iPhone and retry the download again. You'll find the steps to do this in the links below.

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let us know if this helps.

Cheers.
