There are many people who have complained that they find an annoying error that prevents them from enjoying the service normally. It is so worrisome that many people have quickly complained about it on different Internet sites and have contacted its technical support directly.
This is the ‘Something went wrong’ error that has been worrying users of the Google app store a lot since it first appeared because they can’t update their apps, so they don’t receive their improvements or new security features.

Users affected by it demonstrated on social networks, Reddit, Google support and many other sites in search of a solution. Although it is something really serious, it seems that there is a temporary way to avoid it that we will discuss below, but not before showing you what is happening.
