Google Play shows Snapchat recently used on two devices but its not installed.?

[Android Central Question]

My wife and I have an agreement not to use Snapchat. Google Play is showing that it is installed on both her phone and her Chromebook and shows dates of the last time used, which was in the last week. I don't see the app on her phone or laptop (even checked the hidden apps space). She swears she has not used it so I'm wondering if maybe she has uninstalled but not deleted it and if the "last used " information could be referring to a system update of something? Appreciate any thoughts on this? Her phone is a Samsung. Thanks

Google play shows one app on both devices?
Can you post a screenshot of that, just block personal information.

I would wipe all apps cache and then restart phone and see if that fixes it.... Just a thought, i would look in her google account to see if it is linked to her account still maybe. Don't really think that would make it show up as installed in the play store though. Also I would download an explorer app, I use mixplorer, and look at apps installed and also list of apks. You can see all that from the menu on the left side. Good luck

Welcome to Android Central! Where are you seeing in Google Play that it's installed? Keep in mind that if you open the Play Store and bring up the app page for any app that has ever been installed on any device associated with that Google account, the button will always say "Installed," even if the app was subsequently uninstalled.

Hey, did you ever figure out an answer as to why it was showing recently used when not being used. My wife and I are in this same predicament as this very moment. It shows Snapchat installed on my phone and says was last used on different dates over the last week however I haven't had snapchat downloaded in 7 or 8 months.

Thanks
