If you have got an Android smartphone, you might be aware of how crucial it is to update your apps regularly.

Fortunately, if you are installing apps from the Play Store you have got an option to automatically update your apps whenever there is an update available.

But, despite that, you will often find yourself in a situation where an app stops working and won’t run unless you update Google Play services.

Ideally, you do not have to do anything at your end, since the Google Play services get updated automatically, but it can happen.

Update Google Play Services from the Play Store

Follow the link to open the Google Play services app in the Play Store, if you find the ‘Update’ button available, make sure you update the Google Play services.
