apps say installed but I can't find them

[Android Central Question]

I've been trying to download whatsapp and runtastic for the past few months. t always gives the same reply of "installed". even to the extent of it appearing as installed on the respective websites when before I install. it also gives the response of"app will be installed later". nothing ever happens. I have tried to download other running apps thinking that maybe the problem is with runtastic. they all give the same responses

You mean checking the app drawer shows nothing? If you come from an iPhone, Androids have an app drawer where all other apps are hidden so you can keep your homescreens tidy for just apps you use a lot (Some apps on Android are set and forget, so this helps from keeping them out of the way).

hit settings-> apps, if you cannot find them reset the phone update Google play services and try installing again
