Space A prevalent cause of the “application not installed” issue on Android devices is a lack of storage. Verify that you have enough free space on your device before trying to install any apps.

Navigate to Settings > Storage to see your device’s storage. If you notice that there isn’t enough space on your android device, you could want to clear off any extra files, pictures, or videos to create place for the new app.

Step 2: Verify the APK File Integrity

There’s a risk the APK file may be corrupt if you obtained it from an unreliable source.

The “app not installed” issue during installation may result from this.

Remove the current APK file and download a new one from a reliable source to resolve this. To confirm the integrity of the file, make sure the size of the newly downloaded file matches the original.

Step 3: Enable Installation from Unknown Sources

For security concerns, Android devices by default prevent the installation of programmes from stores other than the Google Play Store.

You must activate “Install unknown apps” in your device’s settings in order to permit the installation of the downloaded software.

Navigate to Settings > Notifications & applications > Advanced > App access permissions > Install applications from unknown sources.

Locate the downloader app that you used to download the APK file, and allow it to install unknown applications.

Navigate to Storage > Clear Cache and Data under Settings > Apps > Downloader.

Step 5: Restart Your Device in Safe Mode

Try restarting your Android smartphone in safe mode, which momentarily turns off all third-party applications, to see whether this is the case.
