my Google Play fails to install apps

[AC Question]

Every time I get on Google Play, it shows the loading screen and nothing else. When I type in something, say Zedge, the suggestions don't come up for a few seconds. When I click on a suggestion, it brings me to the app's install screen, but the loading circle is still there. When I click "install", my phone goes to a soft lock and I have no choice but to exit out. It happens with and without Wi-Fi, so I know that's not the problem.

Welcome to Android Central! What phone do you have, and what part of the world do you live in? Have you tried going to Settings>Apps>All, selecting Google Play Store, and Clearing Cache and Clearing Data?

You could also removing your Google account from the phone, then adding it back again, in the Settings>Accounts​ menu.

Never mind, I figured it out. Just had to restart it.

Thank you for helping, though.
