Replace 2/1/25: Right here’s an inventory of widespread Google apps that don’t seem within the Pending downloads listing, however will present an “Replace” whenever you go to the Play Retailer itemizing straight:

Replace 9/4/24: This concern continues and we’ve now seen it impression YouTube, which is a pre-installed app, on a number of gadgets. Whereas we acquired a Play Retailer notification {that a} new replace is out there, going to the Pending downloads display reveals that there’s nothing to put in. If you go to the app itemizing straight, it’s out there to replace.

Replace 7/11: That is as soon as once more taking place with Google Associate Setup:
