Why do my apps hang during an install?

[AC Question]

apps hang during install

i have a galaxy s6 and when I download an app from the playstore it shows it installing forever. if i wait about 4 minutes and then turn my phone completely off (restarting does not work) and back on, the app appears as installed. Also, I just noticed that this also happens when my apps try to update (Samsung push Service update is just chugging along for last 5 minutes).

Welcome to Android Central! Where are you seeing the endless Installing message--in the notification bar, or on the Google Play Store app page?
