When you’re downloading more than one app at a time on your iPhone, it can seem like it takes forever. You might be setting up a new device and have tons of downloads or let your updates pile up on the App Store or 3uTools and are downloading them at once. You can choose to download or pause the items on the Downloading List.
Not all apps take priority when you’re downloading either. You might really want an email app available before a game. Luckily there is a way to speed up downloads or updates for specific apps by prioritizing them and here’s how.
Prioritize app downloads on iPhone
Once your app download begins, you can see it on your screen. It’s a bit grayed out and a circle is spinning. While this is happening, use 3D touch to prioritize it. Press and hold on the app. When the menu pops up, tap Prioritize Download.
