Completely stop. Not pause

While it’s installing/downloading click once on the icon and it will pause. Then click and hold until it starts to do that thing where every icon is shaking. Click on the cross (top right corner of the icon) if you want to delete it.

Thanks but it won’t show the cross while it’s Downloading. I accidentaly downloded a huge app that takes forever to finish.

Throw it at the wall. Really hard.

If you suddenly stopped getting an internet connection or get the “No Service” the download will fail and it will stop. Go somewhere underground.

@TheCreative you could also just turn of wi-fi or go to airplane mode via Settings
