While updating, make sure that your device has a stable internet connection, has ample storage and is sufficiently charged.
To speed up the updating process and to avoid any potential interruptions, refrain from using your device. The entire updating process may vary depending on the number of apps to update and the total update file size to install. Generally, it’ll be quick.
A notification saying that all your apps are up to date or something similar will then be displayed on the Updates available tab once all pending updates are completely installed. By then, you should be all set to use your phone as you normally do.
Facing some minor post-update glitch?
If something unusual transpires after you update apps, then you should restart your device. The recent software changes might have inflicted some sort of atypical system behavior, which is often resolved by a quick system reboot or soft reset. Just turn your phone off for a few seconds and then turn it back on again. After that, everything should be working smoothly as intended.
And that’s all about manually installing pending app updates on the new Google Pixel 7.
