In the recent past i've had issues with the facebook app downloading from the playstore. Yesterday i got a notification facebook messenger needed and update. Anyone else had issues with facebook or messenger not wanting to update? Fixes? Every other app updates just fine, auto updates are off and updates can download on any connection.

Try clearing the caches of Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Google Play Store, and Google Play Services.

Then open Google Play Store and try again.

If it still won't work, then clear the data from Google Play Store and Google Play Services.

Open the Play Store, and go through and reset your settings.

Wait for the security updates to complete, about 5 minutes or so, then try again.

If it still has problems, is there a possibility that you could have gotten an update from a different app store?

The app IDs are sometimes different from store to store, so one store may not be able to update an app from another store.

The only 2 apps that ever game me this issue was facebook twice in the past year and now messenger now. Eventually the facebook apps updated, so hopefully the messenger will too. It's odd that it wants me to connect to wifi even though i have mobile data or wifi selected for updating apps. Thanks for you response.
