Unable to install applications from Google Play store

[MaggieF]

I've been facing update and install issue no matter from Play store or third party apk. 

This started after updating to software version 6.1 released on September. 

Please let me know if anyone faced similar issue too and have any solutions to it. 

I have only used 200Gb for a 512GB phone. 

Samsung S23 Ultra 

Thanks.

Try uninstalling app updates. For play store.

I know what the fix is for this, I've facing this issue after I update it to Android 6.1 and try many methods to fix this. The only way to fix this is to turn off your "App Protection Settings" when you want to update apps on Google Play, remember to turn it back on after you installed the app though. Please mark my comment as "accepted solution" if this works. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I urgently wanted to install certain app for work related purpose, hence performed a factory reset that solved the issue😂

lol, next time if you still face the same issue then you can try my method, glad to hear that the issue is fixed after you performed the factory reset!

I have this problem as well! I can't figure out how to install any new apps from Google Playstore. I also just updated my software to the latest one and update my Google play system update to October 1, 2024

Oh no, maybe that's the bug in certain versions, not sure. However I solved it by factory reset 😕
