Thank you, it worked. I was almost giving up on downloading any future apps. Can't believe it was that simple!
Glad that you were able to fix the problem. Thanks for your comment.
Being an old phone owner, I was also facing this issue with Google Play. I am glad that the solution you provided is quite simple. Until I get a new phone with more RAM and storage, will have to stick to this method. Thank you for the information.
