TikTok’s Return to the Play Store: A Frustrating Download Experience on Pixel Devices

Recently, it was announced that TikTok has made its much-anticipated comeback to the Google Play Store. Excited to dive back into the popular app, I rushed to download it on my Pixel phone, only to be met with an unexpected obstacle.

Upon trying to install TikTok, I encountered a perplexing error message: “Something went wrong. Try again.” Naturally, I didn’t stop there. I took the usual troubleshooting steps including rebooting my device, clearing the cache for the Play Store, and even switching to a different Google account. Unfortunately, none of these efforts yielded success.

Interestingly, my Play Protect settings are activated, and no explicit warnings have popped up. This leaves me wondering: are there others out there using Android devices who are facing similar difficulties when attempting to download TikTok?

If you’re in the same boat, feel free to share your experiences and any potential solutions you’ve found. Let’s navigate this setback together while we await a smoother experience!

  1. Hi there,

    It sounds like you’ve already performed some essential troubleshooting steps, which is great. When encountering the “Something went wrong” error during app installation on Pixel devices, you might want to try the following additional solutions:

    • Check for System Updates: Ensure your Pixel device is running the latest version of Android. Go to Settings > System > Advanced > System update and install any available updates.
    • Uninstall Pending Updates for the Play Store: Sometimes, the Google Play Store or Google Play Services updates can cause issues. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store, then tap Uninstall updates. Afterward, reopen the Play Store and try downloading TikTok again.
    • Check Storage Space: Confirm there is enough free storage on your device to accommodate the app installation.
    • Disable VPNs and Security Apps Temporarily: If you’re using a VPN or third-party security apps, try disabling them temporarily as they can interfere with app downloads.
    • Review Device Policies: If your device is managed by work or school policies, some app installations might be restricted. Verify with your administrator if applicable.
