Android Central Question

Have a Galaxy Note 3. Uninstalled messenger and now it won't install again. Tried everything to make it work, and everything else is downloading and installing just fine. It will download, but once it goes to installing, it stops.

Force stop first (Play and Play Services) then clear cache and data. (If the apps are still running, they may store something between clearing them and stopping them - the only reason to stop them is to make sure that the app's entire cache is cleared.)

Yes. When I try to download, it goes all the way through and ends and no app is installed.
Try to uninstall okay store updates and then reinstall see what happens. To do this is long press play store>info >3 Dots right corner tap
