How do I stop apps in library auto downloading?

I redeemed a bunch of games from horizon+ and now they are constantly trying to auto install, even after i remove them from my library and cancel the download.

I redeemed them from the phone app and thats where the issue started I think.

Any tips please, this is really annoying. It takes up all my space and ruins my internet speed :(

    No, I don't think, that's the problem.....I redeem games from the phone all the time.

    But they don't start downloading/installing until I tab the "install on headset" button.๐Ÿค”

    So, I'm not sure what's going on with your games.....have you clicked the "install" button?

    Maybe let the games finish the download/install once and then uninstall them instead of canceling the download?

      The install on headset button after redeeming automatically greys out and starts showing a rotating loading icon after a few seconds of redeeming it.

      I found another post on reddit dealing with the same issue, also attributed to the app, and they have the same solution of letting it download and then uninstalling. Problem is its a couple hundred gigs of downloads for all the horizon plus games I redeemed and I need to pay for data at a rate of about R100 a gig, or about R10000-30000 if my quick math is correct, which is a couple months salary here in South Africa :(

        That's very expensive. Are there no limit free wifi packages available there?
