I'm having a problem of downloading Facebook and Snapchat apps. Whenever I wanted to download Facebook or Snapchat, Playstore just stopped working. But I have no issue of downloading other applications.

I tried to clear cliche, force stop, clear data or restart my phone, but none of them work.

Anyone knows how resolve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Go to home screen select"google settings" app>tap on this>three dot menu.
tap on the button" clear app data".
Wait for sometime to load data.
Reboot /restart device.
Still the problem persists.

Hi, I'm now facing the same problem again but I have tried all the steps. When I add account, it keeps showing google play services has stopped. Is there any other way to add account?

Thank you

Hi,
Go to settings >storage>cached data>clear cached data.
Go to settings>storage>apps>google play services> clear data> uninstall updates.
Try to sign in.
After this.
Google play services updates automatically.
I tried to sign in, it still showing google play services has stopped. I have tried some other methods as well, but can't work as well.
