Apps are updated to keep them bug-free, and the same goes for Google. So update the Google Play Store, and it may fix the issue.
  • Open the Settings tab and go to About section.
  • Press Play Store version and wait for a couple of seconds.
  • A pop-up will tell you whether or not it is up to date or not.
  • If it is not updated, then a notification will tell you so. Tap OK and wait for it to download.
If this does not fix the issue, then move on to the next step.

  • Open the Settings tab and go to Accounts.
  • Tap on Google accounts.
  • Select Remove Accounts and confirm it.
