Is anyone having issues with Google Play not updating apps since the One UI 8 update? Apps via the Galaxy Store are updating fine but google play isn't. I have the S24 Ultra and I restarted my phone quite a few times and still nothing.

      Thanks for responding. That is crazy! I just checked back and they seem to slowly be updating on their own but not when I try to update 🤦🏽

      Yes please I have been experiencing issues as well, even contacted Samsung, tried the advice given which didn't work, even factory reset my phone which didn't work, I had to use a VPN to update my apps from Google. I found that advice on Reddit... Hope they get it sorted soon if not.......

      Which vpn did you use? I'm yet to find a good one. 3/4 of the apps on google play aren't even available in the Galaxy Store (if that's what they're pushing for)

      You are welcome, I thought something was wrong on my end, wasted my time factory resetting, uninstalling Google play services and Google Play Store, I almost took my phone to someone to get help but I continued searching til I found out what to do because half off my apps from play store weren't updating, Using the vpn caused Google Play services and Play store to be updated. It was a stressful time for me, lol I was planning to switch but for now I'm just cooling it. Let me know if you get through with your updates

      Still getting the issue when apps need to update from playstore so I had to use the vpn again today... so hopefully google/samsung will sort out every sooner rather than later.

      Whatever it is, the apps are updating slowly on their own. Out of 18 updates, I only had to do 10. Hopefully it's just a bug that they fix
