The Google Play Store is a go-to for Android users who want to find and install their favorite apps. But sometimes, you may come across an app that you like but don’t want to install right away. In this case, the Wishlist feature on the Google Play Store helps you pin the apps you want to come back to later.
This can prove to be a useful feature for you in case you are running low on storage and don’t want to overstuff your device at the cost of affecting its performance. Here’s how you can add apps to, view, and remove apps from your Google Play Store wishlist.
How to Add an App to Your Google Play Store Wishlist
- Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Search and select the app (or game, movie, or book) you like.
- On the top right corner, click the three dots menu button.
- Select Add to wishlist.
The app is now added to your wishlist and you can come back to it whenever you would like. Let’s now see how you can view all the apps that are on your Wishlist.
How to View All Apps in Your Google Play Store Wishlist
- Launch the Google Play Store App on your Android device.
- Tap on your profile picture on the top right corner.
- Tap on Library.
- Tap on Wishlist.
Here, you can see all the apps currently on your wishlist. Any new app that you add to your wishlist will appear here. No longer want an app on your wishlist? Let’s take a look at how you can remove it.
How to Remove an App From Your Google Play Store Wishlist
There are two ways to remove an app from your wishlist. The first method is:
- Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Search and select the app (or game, movie, or book) you like.
- On the top right corner, click the three dot menu icon.
- Select Remove from wishlist.
The second method is:
- Launch the Google Play Store App on your Android device.
- Tap on your profile picture on the top right corner.
- Tap on Library.
- Tap on Wishlist.
- Press and hold the app you want to remove.
- On the pop-up menu, select Remove from wishlist.
Following any of these two methods will help you remove an app from your wishlist. But let’s say that you want to start fresh and remove all the apps at once. Removing each app individually one after the other does not really sound fun. Fortunately, you can clear your entire wishlist all at once. Let’s see how.
How to Remove All Apps From Your Wishlist at Once
Before you clear your entire wishlist, do keep in mind that this action is irreversible. Once your wishlist is cleared, you would then have to manually add the apps again if you want them to show up on your wishlist.
If you happen to have a few important apps on your wishlist that you don’t want to forget about, we recommend writing them down on a piece of paper before you clear your wishlist so you can then quickly search them up and add them again.
- Launch the Google Play Store App on your Android device.
- Tap on your profile picture on the top right corner.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap General to open the drop-down menu.
- Tap Account and device preferences.
- Scroll down all the way and select Clear wishlist.
All the apps on your wishlist are now removed. You can now go ahead and start filling it up again with new items of your choice.
Keep Track of Your Favorites
With the Google Play Store Wishlist feature, you can be sure to never lose track of your favorite games, movies, or books. Whether you’re running low on your device storage or simply don’t want to purchase a paid item right now, adding items to your wishlist is a great idea.
Through it, you can remember to come back to the games, movies, or books you wanted to enjoy.
