Apps Take Several Minutes to Install

 Hi,

When trying to install a new app from the Google Play Store, the application appears to download at the usual speed within the GPS, however once the download reaches 100% it takes several minutes for the app to actually install on my device. 

When I go to check the status in the GPS it remains at 100%, several minutes after it reached this point. 

I'm using an Xperia XZ with the latest software. Please advise what to do – this problem only started occurring this weekend. Prior to this apps installed instantly after reaching 100%.

Thanks.

Hi @willstar99, welcome to the community.

Try resetting the Google Play Store. 
To do this go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear Data, then restart your phone.
