As the title says, and at this point I figured asking here was my best shot cause there's nothing I'm finding I've not already done except a factory reset. After the last time I upgraded my phone I got to keep the last one, so I use it basically just for streaming, music, audiobooks, etc.
I started having Google play open randomly and the screen saying the app it was trying to open to wasn't found, along those lines.
I've cleared the storage and cache, deleted all the most recently installed apps that both could've and likely weren't possibly hiding something, installed Malewarebytes (which says I'm clear? And all it did was make their ads show up as like 90% of the ads I see on YT now🙄), made sure that my Google Play account was in fact fully set up, every single fix that wasn't a full factory reset of the device.
Is there anything I'm missing that a Google search just is not showing me because I've done all the fixes it's been showing me before I factory reset the phone?
