Last updated
Wondering why you can’t update Genshin Impact on your Android device? You’re not alone in this boat. Let’s dive into what could be causing this hiccup and how you can fix it.
So you’ve been playing Genshin Impact and suddenly, an update is available, but your Android device just won’t download it. What gives? Let’s figure it out together.
Quick Fixes for Updating Genshin Impact on Android
First things first, check your internet connection. A shaky or weak Wi-Fi signal is often the culprit. Make sure you’re connected to a strong network. If you’re using mobile data, ensure you have enough data allowance and a strong signal.
Next up, space. Genshin Impact is a hefty game, needing lots of room to update. Ensure your device has enough free storage. If not, time for some spring cleaning! Uninstall apps you don’t use, or move photos and videos to the cloud.
Why You Might Not Be Able to Update Genshin Impact
There are a few reasons why you might be facing issues. Sometimes, the Google Play Store itself can be the problem. Clearing the cache and data for the Play Store app can work wonders. Just head to your device’s Settings, find Apps, select Google Play Store, and then Storage. Hit ‘Clear Cache’ and ‘Clear Data’.
Another reason could simply be that the update isn’t available in your region yet. Genshin Impact’s updates roll out in waves, so you might need to wait a bit longer. Keep checking the Play Store for the latest version.
