Help Package installer keeps stopping

[boldfacebutton7]

Hi everyone,
I have Nokia 6.1 Android 10. I install lot of apps outside the play store and all work perfectly. Even when I don't want them I uninstall them without any issue. Recently I tried uninstalling one such app and I am getting package installer keeps stopping error. I tried uninstalling other such apps and it worked but when I try it with this one particular app I get this error. Someone help, please. It seems because of this app my contact and other things are getting affected.

App name- Whatsapp and GBwhatsapp

In settings, (apps and whatever) there's an un-install option that may be different from your phones gui option, have you tried that?

Yes I went into settings and then apps. I tried uninstalling from there. The screen flashes and I am on homescreen but the app does not get uninstalled. I tried the same with some other apps and it works. Just these two apps are bugging me.

Try re-installing the apps, and then un-install. Perhaps there are files that it's looking for that it can't find.

Tried that as well. Reinstalled the app but still the problem is there

You'll need to do a factory reset

Is there no other option ?

Have you done a virus scan? Also, there are a bunch of un-install tools in the playstore, they probably all use androids own code, but it might be worth a try.

I tried few uninstall tools. Ccleaner etc. but none works.

If you have installed the app from google playstore then search the app's name in playstore and go to the app's page. On that page there will be options to open the app and uninstall the app. Choose the option of unistall and then the app will be successfully uninstalled. Atleast in my case it did uninstall.
Even if you installed the app from some other source then also you can check the app on playstore if its available there.
