When you are downloading the apps, it is important to ensure that you have a working internet connection. So, you can load your web browser and see if the web page opens. This is a right test to see if the data is connected. If not, you need to turn the mobile data on. Try and resume the app download after that. You need to hold down the app icon and the apps will begin to wiggle.

All you have to do is tap on the X icon which will be found on the upper left corner. Then, confirm that you will delete the app. Apps may stop downloading owing to space constraints as well.

So, you should keep an eye on the available space on your iPhone. If you are looking to delete the unwanted apps as well, you need to follow these steps. You also need to check the Wi-Fi connection as well, your data network is not stable, you have to download the apps over your Wi-Fi connection. So, you can either restart your network or even connect to another Wi-Fi network if available.

See if this works out. Try re-downloading the app.
