Google Play Store Crashes on 6 Pixel and Galaxy Watch Models After Recent Update

2 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 9

Summary

  • Reddit reports say the Play Store is repeatedly crashing on Pixel Watch 2, 3 and 4, with similar complaints appearing on Galaxy Watch 4, 7 and 8 Classic.
  • Recent updates appear to have triggered the bug, and standard fixes such as clearing cache, wiping app data and restarting the watch have not stopped it from returning.
  • Removing the latest Play Store update has worked for some users, but many say crashes persist, leaving app downloads and updates unreliable on affected wearables.
  • Google has not yet commented on the issue; the new Play Store problem follows last week's reports of LTE connectivity trouble on Pixel Watches.
