[Installation Blocked]: How To Fix "App Not Installed" Error On Android Phone 2018

App Not Installed, Why?:

Often times when we download app from a third-party link and while installing it you'll get this error message "Parse" this simply means that the app cannot install on your device no matter how hard you try. Hence, it depends on your phone's operating system - maybe the app is for Nougat users and you want to install it on KitKat, ain't you aware that it won't install because it's not splitted or pieced for your device to be able to install it. However, this is a different problem which I don't think has a solution.

It really pisses me off when am installing an app on my phone only to see app not installed, this error message doesn't mean that your device cannot install the app rather needs some few changes which can enable the app to install, but the question still remains - how can I detect and fix the problem.

At middle last year, Google introduced the Android 8.0 Oreo along with it's features. It happens that there are some Android 8.0 Oreo features which we can get on any Android phones as well which includes the YouTube Picture-in-Picture (PiP) modee but with the aid of a third-party application and the other feature which is PLAY PROTECT.

This feature (Play Protect) plays a good role on our device, it scans each and every applications installed on your phone to prevent malware's from penetrating in your device, it's really a good feature but I must say that it's mostly recommended for ladies who don't know how to keep their device secure.

But don't you think that what has merit also comes along with it's demerit? sure, every good thing here on planet Earth also has it flaws. However, this same play protect also hinders you from installing some apps downloaded from third-party sites because it believes that it is contaminated.
