I figured it out.
In short, I needed to reinstall Google Play Services
In your device ...
Go to Settings > Security > Check Unknown sources
Head over to apkmirror (apkmirror dot com /apk/google-inc/google-play-services) **I can't post links so you can figure that part out** and get the version of Google Play Services that is applicable to the version of Android that you have on your device.
Install
reverse step 1 once finished
This worked for me.
