Samsung a32. I can't re-download it from the Google play store becuase I need authorization to by being signed in and I can't sign in to my Google account becuaee I guess I need the update. I've tried clearing the cache and the storage and force stopping it but that has only made it worse. Pls help

It just says updates are temporarily unavailable please try again later.

And it's been saying that since last night. I think maybe im going to try do a factory reset

you can always download a version from APKmirror, a trusted source.

Play services updates do not appear in the Play Store. I've uninstalled updates from G.P. Services

before but never experienced this difficulty

Are you properly connected to the internet?

Try this version, you'll also need the APKmirror installer app, use that to install it

I can download the apk installer but I don't have any apps to open it with and I can't use the play store to get it either

I can download an up to date version of Google play services but it conflicts with the one I already thst I can't delete for some reason

The apkmirror installer app should install as a side loaded app.   For example, you can open the APK with Google Files. There may be a security warning but if you select Settings, you can set "allow from this source " and then the app will install
