how much space is left? is it bigger than the update needed? try to first clear the apps data . restart your phone and then apply the update..

Hi @osmoses,

Do you have a notification warning you that you are running out of memory? If so you will have to clear some memory on the Device Memory which is where apps are mainly stored. The Internal storage is mainly used for media files such as photos.

It is as Uliwooly says, your phone needs some free storage to be able to download new or update existing apps. The only way to be able to do so in this case is by freeing up storage on the phone memory.

Freeing up storage means to delete some apps OR move some of them into internal storage??
