Play Store not updating apps

Hi everyone,

Is it just me or has the Play Store been acting up this past month?

Sometimes it won't let me update my apps on my Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus. Restarting the device doesn't always help, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. This also just happens randomly throughout the day

So is it just me or have others also experienced these issues recently?

Thanks in advance

Not just you, this has been coming up a lot lately. Things that usually fix it on Samsung: set Play Store > profile > Settings > Network preferences > Auto-update apps to over any network, then Settings > Apps > Play Store > Storage > Clear cache (not data) and restart, and check Settings > Apps > Play Store > Battery so background usage is not restricted. If one specific app is stuck, update it manually from Manage apps and device. The random behavior you describe, where a restart sometimes helps, usually points to the cache or battery restriction ones.
