Hi @adi52 could you advise what phone you have? also just to confirm are all your bill payments up to date?

@adi52

I've seen 3 such threads this morning already.

Is there a network issue @LukasB ?

Can you check for an update to carrier settings on your LG, which would have been pushed down in the past few days.

@MI5

Its an app that Google use to update certain Apps, and it seems to have been buggy in the version released on the 23rd November and has been fixed in the latest release.

@adi52

You need to check in the App Store for updates...
