Did you know that you can pause an app download from your iDevice’s springboard? It’s incredibly easy, and we’ll show you how.

Once you start downloading an app from the App Store, you’ll notice that the progress bar begins on the desired app icon. While that progress bar loads, you can tap the icon at any time to pause and resume the download.

This tip is great for those with limited bandwidth access, or if you just need to pause an app mid-download for any reason. Hopefully you found this tip helpful.
