PUBG Mobile Update Bug
Most of you are probably aware of the19th February Google play store issue by now. For those who don't know, users were unable to update their pubg mobile app as reported by many.
On 19th February, Tencent (the company behind PUBG) pushed the 0.11.0 update with the much-awaited Zombie Mode along with few other major changes. You can read this article "PUBG MOBILE UPDATE: It's all good News!!!" to know more about the update. Considering how popular pubg is it's easy to guess how many users might have been online to get this update at the same time, causing various download & update issues for the users.
Issues Faced by Users
While some users reported that the play store crashed others reported that the download speeds were extremely slow and took them 2-3 hours to update.
Other than the players who faced the issues mentioned above, some players faced a very different one. These players were able to download the game, the update sucked almost 2 GB (actual size of the game) instead of 416 MB(the size of the update). This is especially an issue for a country like India, where most users don't have WiFi, and the daily data usage limits are around 1.5GB.
Making the situation worse, some users reported that they had to download the app again and again as the play store would give them an error report in the middle of the download process.
The news spread like wildfire. While many were angry and vented by complained about the situation on the internet, some creative minds took it the next level by posting memes on social media.
